Jamestown  (CSi)  The Salvation Army announced Friday it will close, permamently,  the Jamestown Family Store  located at 210 Business Loop West.  The store had temporarily closed due to COVID-19 safety guidelines.  The permanent closure is  effective immediately.

Maj. Judy Lowder in Jamestown said, “It’s not easy to close something that the people of Jamestown have enjoyed for many years. We made a concentrated effort to find a suitable location to move into, but we were unsuccessful after several months of searching.”

Only the Family Store is closing—The Salvation Army Worship and Service Center,  at 320 1st Avenue  North continues its operations unabated. Among the services offered there are food pantry, Pathway of Hope, rent and utility assistance, adult and youth programming and more.

In addition, the Worship and Service Center will now begin accepting clothing donations and will soon be hosting a monthly “Freebie Friday” event, during which clients can select clothing items they need at no cost.
