The Salvation Army School for Performing Arts to Begin July 13

The Salvation Army School for Performing Arts Children's Day Camp is set to beging this summer on July 13. The day camp will be held at The Salvation Army Corps & Community Center located at 1001 Cumberland Road in South Austin (78704).

Many children have talent that will never be developed because their parents can't afford lessons for them, or to purchase instruments or art supplies. If cultivated this talent could one day provide a springboard to a better life, or at least a more fulfilling one.

A secondary activity toward that end is to help homeless adults improve their income, usually a requirement for achieving housing success. The shelters' main program for improving income is the employment program. In 2008, 589 adult shelter residents improved their employment status.

Those numbers include all those cases whose outcomes are known. Exit and employment status is not known for all residents at their departure.

Among other major statistics, the 371,800 meals provided is believed to be a local record.
