This year especially has been difficult, and Captain Ryerson is asking everyone to participate in the spirit of giving by helping bring in cans, boxes, and other necessities this holiday season. The Salvation Army is a global entity, but your donations will impact your own local community.

Today marks the beginning of GAC’s Can-A-Thon, and this year we are dedicating Friday November 13th as “Can-Day.” Any contributions will make a difference to help support families across the metro-Atlanta area.
