The Middletown Salvation Army is celebrating 120 years of service to the Greater Middletown Area this year. The Salvation Army open its door in 1890 on Grant Street and continues to be a presence in Middletown until this day. Now located at 515 Main Street where they have been for the last 30 years.The Salvation Army will be having a day of celebration on May 12 (Wednesday), during National Salvation Army Week. There will be an open house from 11 AM - 5 PM, a pasta dinner fund-raiser from ($10.00 per person) 5 PM-6:30 PM and the evening will close with a celebration meeting at 7 PM. The meeting will feature a Salvation Army Brass Band and local and state dignitaries to present well wishes to the Salvation Army. There will also be silent auction all day long with gift certificates from Middletown and Cromwell businesses.
As The Salvation Army looks to the future they will be totally refacing the front of their 515 Main Street location. The renovations will include a new facade, new windows, lighting, doors, and a new lobby. This work will be done throughout the summer of 2010. Also The Salvation Army has submitted proposals to begin a Teen Center for High school students. The proposed program would run three days a week from after school until the evening hours. They will find out in August if they will receive the funds they have applied for, and will move forward then.
