We are also excited to an-

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

“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.
