The Salvation Army in Vancouver is lending a hand to federal workers impacted by the government shutdown.
“We assist anyone in need of the basics: food, clothing, rent and utility assistance,” Major Michael Nute, officer in charge at the faith-based nonprofit, said in a news release. Those who live paycheck to paycheck are “most vulnerable when income is frozen or stopped,” the statement continued.
Those who need assistance are encouraged to visit the Salvation Army Family Services at 7509 N.E. 47th Ave. or call 360-448-2890. Last year more than 16,000 people received help, the news release said.
