Homeless Family Shelter in Dire Need

Quad Cities, USA:  The Salvation Army Family Service Center, 301 W. 6th Street, Davenport, is in desperate need of new or gently used bath towels and wash clothes.

People often come to The Salvation Army with just the clothes on their backs and the towels are given to new residents and their children (60% of the shelter's residents are children) as they enter the program.

Approximately 100 people reside at the Family Service Center every night receiving shelter, food and case management.  This homeless family shelter provides all the basic needs to the residents who are without.

The towels and monetary donations can be dropped off any time at The Salvation Army, 301 W. 6th Street, Davenport - on the corner of Harrison and 6th Streets.

If you wish to make a donation by credit card, please call 1-800-SAL-ARMY (725-2769).
