Those wishing to contribute can donate online at www.salvationarmyrome.org, or mail or deliver donations to the Salvation Army office located at 317 East 1st Avenue in Rome.
In addition to monetary donations, the organization is also seeking gently used items for the Salvation Army Rome Family Store. Volunteers are also needed to help support operations and outreach efforts.
The Salvation Army of Rome serves individuals and families across Floyd and Chattooga counties, providing vital assistance to those in need.
