Salvation Army holds successful Good Night’s Rest Campaign | Community Spirit

Salvation Army of Jackson County:

The Salvation Army of Jackson County would like to thank residents along the entire Gulf Coast for responding so generously to our Good Night’s Rest Campaign. 

The campaign collected nearly 4,000 bedding and towel items for the only family over-night shelter on the Mississippi Coast. Donations were collected at M&M Banks during the last two weeks of June. 

“We are pleased with the response and donations,” said newly appointed Salvation Army Captain Andy Bailey. “We can tell this is not just a beautiful place to live, but it is full of generous residents as well.” Captain Andy, his wife, Salvation Army Captain Jenny Bailey and their three children moved into their position at the Jackson County Salvation Army in July. 

“Our facility fills a crucial shelter need for many families in Jackson County,” said Bailey. Last year alone, nearly 600 men, women and children stayed in the Pascagoula facility’s shelter program. 

“We couldn’t continue to provide these services without support from local residents and we thank you.”
