We got word of the new Salvation Army Community Center and food pantry back in March of this year, and now they have the official dedication planned, and all of you are invited!

Yakima Valley Corps Hope Market Dedication

Helping the Yakima Valley is what the Yakima Salvation Army does, and does it well! But it’s because of a lot of great people, donations, and volunteers that make that happen! And now they’re another tool for help.

LOOK: Stunning vintage photos capture the beauty of America's national parks

Today these parks are located throughout the country in 25 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The land encompassing them was either purchased or donated, though much of it had been inhabited by native people for thousands of years before the founding of the United States. These areas are protected and revered as educational resources about the natural world, and as spaces for exploration.
