The Salvation Army will once again serve a Christmas dinner on Tuesday, December 25, 2012.  The annual tradition begins at 11:30am at The Salvation Army Caring Partners Adult Day Program building at 115 First Avenue NE in Rochester with a brief service followed by dinner at Noon served by community volunteers and Corps staff. Proceeds from the Thanksgiving Day Moms On The Run 5K Gobble Wobble helped The Salvation Army fund dinners on both holidays.

The Salvation Army in Rochester says generosity of all donors has been simply amazing and it is blessed to live in such a giving community, but it is currently $6,943 behind last year’s total at this date!
