Andrew Spooner and Brianne Spooner, DuBois Salvation Army Captains, have served for the past 12 years. “I love what they do, their mission, and the lives they have changed. People that are involved don’t just talk about change, you really see change happen,” stated Captain Andrew Spooner. Alongside the campaign, the DuBois Salvation Army serves 180 local families monthly with emergency food and continues accepting donations for non-perishable items. Additionally, they support the community year-round with their Love in a Backpack program that provides meals to children.
