The Salvation Army Announces its Relocation to Washington, UT. Doors opened on September 11, 2023

Grand Opening and Open House October 2, 2023 at 11:00 AM.

The Salvation Army Outpost has improved countless lives in the St. George area in the recent seven years. It was a member of the local community and his family, the Bush’s, who recognized the local need for this non-profit organization to serve anyone in need.  Since then, the Salvation Army has assisted families with food, emergency supplies, and financial assistance. It has also been a place for the community to gather for worship service.

The Salvation Army Mission Statement includes “ministry motivated by the love of God to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.” The St. George Outpost’s creed is to serve God, sustain families, and transform lives. Thecommunity has greatly benefited from having them here.

The Salvation Army was previously located in the former Kmart shopping center on Bluff Street.  Due to the upcoming remodeling planned for the shopping center, the Salvation Army had to quickly relocate.

NAI Excel was able to assist the Salvation Army with their relocation.  The administrators Major Bob and Karen Schmig worked with NAI Excel and its agent Eric Hatch to find a convenient and excellent new location at 568 W Telegraph Rd Suite 4, Washington, UT 84780 near In-N-Out Burger.  NAI Excel agents Meeja McAllister and Jason Griffith had been working with the property owner who had the right space available. There is more space at their new location, allowing room for growth. With this new location, the community can look forward to many more years with the Salvation Army as a vital part of Southern Utah.

The Salvation Army will open its doors for Food Pantry and other social services on September 11, 2023. Hours of operation are Mondays 1-5pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays 10-3pm and Wednesdays 12-5pm. The Grand Opening and open house is planned for 11am on October 2nd, 2023.

The community is encouraged to visit the new spacious building, sign up to volunteer, and let neighbors and friends know about the services they provide to our community. Val Slater, a member of the Salvation Army board wrote, “with this new building we will be able to continue all the programs we have been doing to help the needs of the community and with more space we have now, we will be able to develop more programs that we can reach even more people. We are excited and are feeling blessed with our new space and the people that have made it possible.”

Eric Hatch, commercial real estate agent at NAI Excel said “Major Bob and Karen Schmig moved swiftly and coordinated efficiently with their headquarters. They were amazing to work with and I’m impressed with how they serve their neighbors with compassion and improve our community.” The Salvation Army lifts us all and NAI Excel has been fortunate to partner with them to remain in our community.
