Kayla, a young girl living at The Salvation Army’s R.J. Montgomery Center (Colorado Springs, Colo.), threw out the first pitch at the Colorado Springs Sky Sox game Aug. 31. The third Annual Community Emergency Preparedness Night preceded the game, with representatives from The Salvation Army’s Emergency Disaster Services unit feeding volunteers from over 20 agencies that worked to make the event a success.
The R.J. Montgomery New Hope Center is The Salvation Army’s homeless shelter in downtown Colorado Springs. Its Children’s Discovery Center is an essential element, offering education, individualized care and a chance for kids to be kids in a safe environment.
