Pennsylvania-based CPA and business owner Larry Wittig is highly involved in his community. In addition to his efforts on various education and workforce boards, Larry Wittig has been a member of the Tamaqua Salvation Army since 2001.
Tamaqua Salvation Army is one of 21 chapters in Eastern Pennsylvania, and like the others, it provides relevant social services and community programming to meet the needs of the community members it serves. Much of this work is achieved through corps community centers. The Salvation Army’s most basic service unit, these centers operate a variety of programs benefiting diverse groups, ranging from children to senior citizens. There are 82 corps community centers in Pennsylvania.
In line with The Salvation Army’s Christian and humanitarian origins and beliefs, corps community centers host and organize Vacation Bible School and Sunday worship services as well as feeding and transitional housing programs. Youth programs emphasize character and spiritual development and aim to inspire and empower at-risk youth to lead healthy and successful lives. Senior programming, meanwhile, includes board games, crafts, health screenings, and exercise classes.
