The SJB Salvation Army Committee serves a nutritious lunch every 3rd Wednesday at the Hazleton Salvation Army from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Members supply some food items and prepare them beginning at 9:30 AM. Our committee members supply the items used to make up each meal as well as prepare, cook, serve, and clean up afterward. We usually serve about 55 meals. During the summer SJB Youth Group join to help prepare, serve, and clean up as well.
