A new Salvation Army Family Store & Donation Center in Tampa, Florida has officially opened. Named for its location, the Town ‘N Country Family Store promotes Tampa Bay Area's sustainability efforts to care for the environment by recycling items that people no longer want. What once was taking up valuable storage space in homes and businesses can be donated to the store to get recycled, and in turn keep more gently-used items from being transported to waste collection sites. The revenue generated supports individuals who are rebuilding their lives at The Salvation Army Tampa Adult Rehabilitation Center (ARC). The store’s funds help cover their expenses at the ARC for up to one full year, where they participate in a long-term, faith-based, 12-step, residential rehabilitation program to receive the aid and education needed to transform into productive members of society.
