Quad Cities, USA - The Salvation Army of the Quad Cities is grateful to the Scott County Regional Authority for their 2013 Fall Grant Award. The $20,000 award helped to purchase eleven new high quality metal bunk beds, 22 specially covered mattresses, and a bed bug heat treatment machine.
Residents at the Family Service Center are families experiencing the personal disaster of homelessness. The new beds and mattresses are helping The Salvation Army provide their residents improved health and well-being while transitioning to permanent housing.
The heat treating system will heat an apartment up to 130 degrees F, and a special Salvation Army staff training was also paid for by the Scott County Regional Authority as part of this grant award.
