The War Cry | FEBRUARY 2015
"The population of Kerrville is
22,000," reports Captain Jimmy
Parrish. "And the total member-
ship to date tops 3,300, which
means that 15 percentage of the
city's population utilizes this facil-
ity on a fairly regular basis!"
It's impressive, but that's not all.
A Kerrville Corps has existed
since the 1980s. The Salvation
Army's presence in this gorgeous
Hill Country community has been
very respectable. A shelter, a social
services office and regular corps
activities thrived for nearly three
decades before the ribbon was cut
on the grand Kroc Center in No-
vember, 2010.
Having an established corps in
Kerrville for nearly 30 years has
been a great blessing," explains
Captain Jimmy. "In a smaller city
like this, everyone knows everyone,
and the community was already
very aware of what The Salvation
Army could bring to the table, es-
pecially with a great facility like a
Kroc Center!"
