PROGRAM: CAPTAIN IVAN MUSGROVE - SALVATION ARMY:
The Austintown Advisory Council can include 24 members. This helps the Army to be grounded in the community and advises the Army on issues needing attention in the community.
Presently there is talk of closing down the Austintown Corps. The Mahoning County Advisory Board is looking to close one of the 3 in Mahoning County due to losses in donations. The Majors in Austintown are actively involved in the community. Carol Fye and Sam Boak are current members of the Austintown Advisory Board.
In Ivan's opinion, the Austintown and East Side Corps should be closed and consolidated into the Southside Corps to reduce the deficit until they are fiscally sound. Most of the money goes to social services on the South side. Austintown still maintains the church and food pantry for those who need it.
The mission of the Army is to help everyone that needs it. Donations can be given to Ivan or mailed to the Salvation Army P.O. Box 4327, Austintown, Ohio 44515.
