Massillon gets new Salvation Army officers

MASSILLON – Salvation Army Capts. Brennen and Allison Hinzman have been appointed to lead the ministry's Massillon citadel at 315 Sixth St. NE.

The Hinzmans previously served in various appointments including Red Bank, New Jersey, for four years, and Camden, New Jersey, for four years.

They have three daughters, 6, 4 and 1.

"We are thrilled to be appointed to Massillon and are eager to build upon the amazing work our predecessors have done in this community," Brennen Hinzman said in a statement. "The Salvation Army has served people in need for 157 years and has supported the people of Massillon for 137 years, so we have deep roots in this community. We look forward to collaborating with our partners, sponsors, volunteers, and community leaders to help those in need."

The Salvation Army in Massillon has operated since 1885. The primary focus of its community services has been providing emergency services, including rent, mortgage, utilities, food, and clothing to the residents of western Stark County.

Seasonal programs include back-to-school backpack giveaway, Thanksgiving fellowship dinner, Christmas gifts, and food. A free hot lunchtime meal is served every Friday. Worship services and Bible study are also offered.
