Transcript of News from Lt. Kaitlyn’s Desk · summer programs or lack the trans-said that transportation was...
Just like that, the summer
has come and gone and we
are on to our fall programs
here at The Salvation Army.
We are so excited and
blessed to be welcoming
all of the children back for
Club 3:16 starting on Sept.
10th. Make sure to sign up
you children if they are in 1
-5th grade.
We are also excited to an-
nounce our new afterschool
program Adulting 101 for
teens. We have many won-
derful things on the horizon
the season, and we are
blessed to continue to
serve our community with
the start of our programs
and new ways as well.
We are also excited to be
participating in the Funtem-
ber Fest at the Lynd Fruit
Farm this month. Make
sure to stop out for some
fall fun, a craft sale, and
delicious baked goods!
No one person or organization
can do it alone—it truly takes
the support of the entire com-
munity. Pat yourselves on the
back, and take a bow—
together we are, “Doing The
Most Good®” in Licking Coun-
ty!
News from Lt. Kaitlyn’s Desk
“Christmas in July” Campaign, a Success!
Greetings! In the name of
our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. We simply cannot
thank you enough for your
support of our annual,
“Christmas in July” counter-top
kettle campaign.
In realizing that “Need knows no
season,” the campaign raised
over $1,200.00. We are so grate-
ful to our volunteer delivery
person, Jim Hill, and community
partners who continually step up
to help us in, “Doing The Most
Good®” for the residents of
Licking County.
This year, we have been so
blessed to partner with the Red
Oak Pub, Christy’s Pizza, Piz-
za Cottage, Goumas Confec-
tions, Matilda Charlotte An-
tiques, the Newark & Granville
Subway Shops, the Licking
County Park National Bank
branches, the Newark True
Core Credit Union branch-
es, the Hopewell Federal
Credit Unions in Newark
and Heath branches, and
Heartland Bank.
A special thanks to Eng-
lefield Oil for allowing us to
almost double our counter-
top kettles in their Duke &
Duchess stores throughout
Licking County!

don’t have enough to eat.
42 million Americans — including 13
million children — lived in households
that were food insecure, meaning
there was limited or uncertain access
to enough food to support a healthy
life.
Households with children were more
likely to be food insecure than those
without children. Want to know more?

Did you know?
According to Feeding America®, even
in the world’s greatest food-producing
nation, children and adults face pov-
erty and hunger in every county
across America. In 2015:
42 million people struggle with hun-
ger in the United States, including 13
million children. 5.4 million seniors
minutes long depending on the weath-
er and the ages of the children partici-
pating. We started here at The Salva-
tion Army for the first week, and then
traveled onto Coble Park in Little Tex-
as, Hebron Park in Hebron, Log Pond
Apartments in Newark, Miller Park in
Utica, Newark Townehomes in New-
ark, and wrapped up at Ryan-Branden
Park at Buckeye Lake on August 8th.
We held 19 sessions, spoke with 262
people, and gave away 310 gifts. We
were able to teach the kids (and some
adults) some new songs (with hand
motions), do some crafts, play some
games, learn a little science, and learn
valuable lessons from the VBS materi-
al.
The kids and parents were given Sal-
vation Army water bottles, coloring
sheets of the Bible characters, with
crayons, kites, program brochures
and twice sent home invitations to join
us for VBS Sunday on August 18th.
We also invited everyone in Church
and everyone at the Advisory Board
meeting to bring children or grand-
This summer, The Salvation Army in
Newark took on the challenge by
THQ, "by addressing a new work, in
new places, in new ways, for new peo-
ple,"
We let the Lord lead us with an adap-
tation of Groups' Maker Fun Factory
VBS. We chose this program after a
successful year using this material in
Day Camp. With a little work, and
whole lot of prayer, we edited the
content to make the whole thing porta-
ble in order to reach more families
that perhaps struggle financially with
a means to enroll their children in
summer programs or lack the trans-
portation to do so. Most we spoke to
said that transportation was their big-
gest challenge.
Each session was between 60 to 90
children and their back-packs for a
blessing and sing the VBS songs with
us.
At VBS Sunday on August 18th, we
provided a great VBS snack after the
service. Our intention with the mobile
VBS was to have at least five people
join us for Church and five more seek
other services. We do know of one
family that came to Food-o-rama be-
cause they heard it from us. Please
continue to hold all the families that
we have met in our travels in prayer.
It will be quite awhile before we de-
termine if any of these children signed
up to participate in other programs,
but we will keep you all posted.
Thank you everyone for your support!
Thank you for your donations—please keep them coming!
Mobile VBS is a hit!

With 'heart to God and hand to man', The Salvation Army
strives to meet the basic needs of all who come seeking help.
Taking immediate care of the basic human needs of food,
shelter, clothing, and safety is an important first step in the
development of a more positive and permanent life change in
the people we help. It is essential to note that at no time will the
participation in spiritual activities be required as a condition for
receiving needed services. All service is given in the name of
Jesus for meeting human needs and caring for hurting persons
is in and of itself valued and is a spiritual ministry.
