Just when you think things are going smoothly, a far less than microscopic virus on the other side of the world brings our economy to a halt, and with it a crisis for many of those most in need of help. One of Rotary Club of Park Cities' collaborative partners, the Salvation Army, funds its Adult Rehabilitation Center (ARC) through their Family Stores. The ARC provides access to a new life for the men who live there hoping to overcome their addictions. However, with the Family Stores closed, 98% of the funding for the ARC was gone.
Without the ARC these men would have no place to go but the street. Along with all of the other demands for increased services, the Salvation Army is facing a massive shortfall. Hearing this, RCPC called a special meeting of their RCPC Foundation to approve a grant to the Salvation Army of $10,000. RCPC member and Salvation Army officer Paul McFarland has secured at least one matching grant for these funds. While this will not meet their total need, it will help the Salvation Army while they search for additional funds to continue to be able to “Do the Most Good.”
