After a local community kitchen was a victim of theft, The Salvation Army in Grand Falls, Newfoundland, stepped up to offer their support.

A group of individuals broke into the church in which the Grand Falls Community Kitchen runs. They stole thousands of dollars worth of food and some cookware.

Although not a part of The Salvation Army, the kitchen and the Army have a wonderful working relationship. Community and Family Services Director, Daniel Kelly, is frequently in contact with the kitchen as they donate surplus food to each other whenever they can.

As soon as staff at The Salvation Army found out about the break-in, they did not hesitate to reach out and help.

The Salvation Army stored excess food items the community kitchen received from donations after the theft. This not only helped the kitchen keep things well refrigerated, but it was also safe, away from another potential robbery.

Thanks to the support of The Salvation Army and the community, the kitchen is back up and running normally.
