Construction is underway at The Salvation Army in Bremerton, WA. The long-awaited project began on October 1, 2014. The first phase of the project is an addition to the existing building.

As of late January, the foundation is complete. Most of the concrete floors have been poured, and the framing of the walls throughout of the first level has been finished.

The first phase is expected to be complete in late August, allowing the current offices and programs to move from the existing building into the new space. Once the original building is vacated, the second phase of the project will begin – renovation of the original building.

The overall space of the new facility will be 16,000 square feet (increased from 8,000 square feet). The facility will include renovated kitchen and dining hall for community meals, food and clothing banks, a hygiene center (shower and laundry facilities for our homeless neighbors), case worker offices and class rooms, and a church for Sunday services. “We’ve simply outgrown our current building,” said Major James Baker, director of The Salvation Army in Bremerton. “The need is great in our community, and this additional space will allow us to serve as many people as possible.”

All work is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2015.
