INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — The Salvation Army of Indian River County has announced that it has received a $800 gift from Velde Ford in Vero Beach from the sales of vehicles sold during a one day sale in December along with sponsoring a Red Kettle location during Christmas.
This gift will help fund programs like the Mobile Feeding Canteen Program that provides hot meals to the homebound, disabled and at risk residents in the Indian River County community three times a week for the entire year through the disaster relief vehicle.
The Salvation Army of IRC started the mobile feeding program in 1999 to fill a void in the community where folks who were confined to their home and were not able to leave their residence to obtain a meal or get groceries could receive help.
This program not only provides a meal but also gives them hope that help is out there during these trying times with the current economic climate.
It’s the support of community food drives, financial support, volunteers and organizations like Velde Ford in Vero Beach helps The Salvation Army of IRC “Do The Most Good.”
To learn more about the program and how to help and get involved or to volunteer call The Salvation Army of IRC at (772) 978-0265.
