My choice was to not let anyone know that I was expectantly at home, and free. Not this day, I wanted it to myself.

2017 could be defined as a significant year of change for the Neepawa and Area Salvation Army, but in a good way. Not only has the charitable organization’s thrift store successfully settled into its new location, within the former Co-op building on Mountain Avenue; but the group has also seen support for their ongoing programs continue to expand.
