Mar. 28—NORWALK — The Norwalk Reflector is collecting canned goods for the Salvation Army.

The Reflector decided to host the collection drive after staff noticed on the Salvation Army's website that the organization's biggest need is non-perishable food items and specifically canned fruit and jelly.

You can drop off canned or boxed goods at the Reflector's office, 34 East Main St., between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The Salvation Army's mission statement reads: "The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. It's mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination."

In addition to a food pantry, the Salvation Army also operates a soup kitchen and helps individuals in need to fill out a food stamp applications, according to its website.
