Salvation Army
MONTHLY coffee mornings by the Salvation Army in Selby raised £1,398 this year.
This total includes £583, which was raised at the December Christmas Bazaar.
The funding will be used to secure items needed for the new Salvation Army Centre on the Abbotts Road Estate, where work on the former St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church is due to be complete in the spring.
The Salvation Army building will be known as The Church at the Crossroads.
It will include a café area and shower facilities for the homeless as well as a centre for youth activities and various other community programmes.
The first coffee morning of 2015 will be held on Saturday, February 3, at the current site in Back Park Street.
