The Salvation Army of Rome is encouraging continued community support this spring as the organization works year-round to provide services to residents in both Floyd and Chattooga counties.

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.

Local donors and volunteers will be recognized during National Salvation Army Week, set for May 11–17, with an Appreciation Luncheon scheduled for May 12 at the Rome Civic Center.
