Salute to Veterans Banner Project unveiled in Kingsville
By Bryan Jessop
LEAMINGTON – With the holiday season fast approaching, Leamington’s Salvation Army is hoping underprivileged families won’t have to ring in the New Year with empty stomachs. Brad Webster, co-captain of the local Salvation Army, noted that while food bank supplies are slowly inching upward, they’re still significantly below the ideal mark with the Christmas season right around the corner. “Numbers are starting to come back up, but they’re not where we’d like to see them — especially for this time of year,” Webster explained. “Usually, the warehouse is stocked around this time.” Webster explained that, although food bank donations are typically lower during the summer months because of local families taking vacations and the school breaks, the lack of donations from the summer of 2018 was a much bigger problem than usual. “We’re still trying to recover from this year’s summer,” Webster said. “Supplies are a lot lower than they should be.” The flow of contributions at the Leamington Salvation Army did pick up in September, but a rising demand for the food bank’s inventory has put a larger than normal strain on those supplies. Webster explained that the Leamington branch of Salvation Army has been dipping into its financial reserves for well over a month now — a resort that cannot be sustained for much longer. At the start of the 2017 calendar year, the local Salvation Army provided food bank services to 152 client residences. Since then, another 119 clients have been added to the list for a sum of 271. The food bank will likely have enough inventory to fill this year’s shipment of Christmas hampers, but afterwards, will be depleted almost entirely to start 2019.
The first of 15 banners, this one depicting a dedication to retired L.Col Murray Stewart of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, is unveiled during a ceremony on Division Street South near the Kingsville Legion Branch 188 Saturday, Oct. 27. The Kingsville Salute to Veterans Banner Project will include 15 of the banners on display this year with another 40 expected to join them in 2019. (Southpoint Sun Photo)

Open House and Boot Drive Nov. 3
On Saturday, Nov. 3, the Leamington Salvation Army will host an Open House from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. During that time, visitors from the general public will be able to tour any part of the facility at 88 Setterington St. Volunteers and staff will be on hand to show and describe services including the food bank itself, the sanctuary area and Emergency Disaster Services that will be on display at the back of the lot. During the two-hour open house, the local Salvation Army branch will accept food bank donations. Earlier that day, the Leamington Firefighters Association will set up annual boot drives to benefit the Salvation Army with financial donations. The firefighters will be set up at the intersections of Talbot Street West and Elliott Street, Talbot Street East and Lutsch Street and Erie Street South and Pulford Street. Each year, funds generated from the boot drive are donated to the Salvation Army while volunteers pack Christmas hampers at the Setterington Street headquarters.
