The Atchison County Salvation Army has helped medical patients, paid for milk and lunches at school, supplied backpacks for the Atchison County back-to-school fair, and bought personal hygiene products for students. An amazing 84% of what is donated locally stays in Atchison County, and even more in the event of a disaster such as our recent floods.

You can help support our local Salvation Army (and spread holiday cheer!) in many ways:

Ring the bell (or donate) in Fairfax on Friday, December 10; in Tarkio on Saturday, December 11; and in Rock Port on Friday, December 17, or Saturday December 18.

Tax deductible donations may be sent to: Atchison County Sal-vation Army, 218 S. Maple Street, Tarkio, MO 64491. (Due to processing delays, envelopes will not be inserted in the Atchison County Mail until just before Christmas.)
