The Salvation Army Receives Donation

Gift in Memory of Shirley & Dave Miller Supports The Salvation Army

Paris, Texas- The Salvation Army of Paris has received an anonymous donation of $10,000 in memory of Shirley & Dave Miller from Illinois, designated to support feeding people in need from Lamar County.

The gift was delivered on Friday to The Salvation Army in memory of the Millers, from Darien, Illinois, who enjoyed numerous visits to Paris.

“The Salvation Army of Paris is so appreciative of the generous donation received in memory of Mr. and Mrs. Miller,” said Major Jennifer Chisholm of The Salvation Army. “Even though they will never meet or be able to thank them, those who come to us for assistance will receive food, nourishment, and encouragement because of this donation and the memory of the Millers. The impact of this gift is far-reaching and will be felt by many. Thank you!”

The Salvation Army of Paris provides shelter, meals, emergency financial assistance, a food pantry, and Christmas assistance in Lamar County 365 days a year.
