Salvation Army Lawrence County is Now Lawrence & Wayne Service Unit

The Lawrence County Salvation Army Service Unit, hosted by the First Presbyterian Church, has operated for more than twenty years. With the approval of Sarah Moore, Divisional Service Extension Director for The Salvation Army, NJ Pope, Pastor of Waynesboro First Fellowship Church, met with Carole Ivey, Director of Lawrence County Salvation Army Service Unit, to work out details of a joint venture of Lawrence and Wayne County Service Unit.
