DAMASCUS, PA — Rebecca Lawrence, Case Worker for the Honesdale Center of the Salvation Army, put the word out that they needed assistance to help fill their food and hygiene supply closets. Rebecca said, “These supplies are offered to many who are in crises struggling.” Megan Wessman, Lay Preacher for the Damascus Manor United Methodist Church relayed the message to the church community. From there, Melissa Rutledge, a church member, contacted three Damascus 4-H Clubs to help maximize the collection.
