An official Grand Opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Family Store will be held on May 4, 2022, at 10:00 am. There will be food and Family Store specials on the day of the Grand Opening.
City officials, the Salvation Army Advisory Board, as well as Salvation Army leaders from Milwaukee will be in attendance. The public is invited to attend.
The Salvation Army of Escanaba’s Family Store has already been off to a great start! The soft opening for the Store was March 22, 2022. The store is located at 2405 1st Avenue North, in the Mini-Mall across from Hobby Lobby, and is open Tuesday through Saturday each week from 11AM-6PM .
Donations for the Family Store have been steadily coming in. “The family store model is a key driver for programming in the community. All revenue from the family store stays in the community it is serving,” stated Miles Bagley, Business Manager.
“We are excited to see the community response to this new endeavor”, said Captain Doug Winters, UP Regional Coordinator for the Salvation Army. “Our traffic in the store has exceeded projections and having this resource will help us meet not only the financial needs of the community but also the physical needs of people in a time of crisis by supplying household and clothing items when the need arises.”
The Salvation Army states that this will allow them to continue to provide overall increased services in the community. For more information about the Family Store or any of The Salvation Army services, contact the Corps office at (906)786-0590.
