In January, The Salvation Army in Buffalo, N.Y., debuted a new location to help the community during winter’s coldest nights.
Space that had been set aside during preparations for a larger Salvation Army building project was turned into the Army’s Code Blue shelter. The facility, having had all its programs relocated, would be free for months. It was perfect timing.
The Army sent out the notice on social media about the new Code Blue location. Almost immediately, Amazon packages and donations of sheets, blankets, and bedding began arriving at The Salvation Army.
On the first night, ten individuals used the facility; the following night, the number had gone up to 50.
Two individuals came approached the local Salvation Army officer and expressed how thankful they were to be there. One of them said it was the first real sleep he had in a month.
