Salvation Army gets $2.5M donation for men's shelter after News 6 story

The challenge was enormous and the stakes were high: the Salvation Army needed to raise $4 million from the community to repair and rebuild its downtown Orlando Men’s and Veterans’ Shelter, the longest-serving shelter of its kind in Central Florida. And if the Salvation Army didn’t do it by Dec. 31, the matching $4 million grant promised by the city of Orlando and Orange County would expire. Well, Central Florida delivered just in time for Christmas.
