Young Professionals donate to Salvation Army

Seneca County Young Professionals presented a donation to The Salvation Army Tiffin Citadel for $2,193.41 during a 2022 kick-off event on Friday, Jan. 21 at The Pioneer Mill Restaurant in Tiffin. Officers Jimmy and Marcella Hughes of The Salvation Army were in attendance to accept the donation. "We at The Salvation Army in Tiffin were deeply honored when the SCYP approached us about benefiting from the Downtown Pizza Party! The money that we have received is going towards replacing our dishwasher for our soup kitchen, which is something we were praying about right before we received the news about the Pizza Party! We have been extremely blessed by this event and the amount of support that it received," said Lt. Jimmy Hughes, Corps Officer. The money donated was raised during the 2021 Downtown Tiffin Pizza Party. The event took place in September in conjunction with the Downtown Third Thursday series. Eleven local businesses served up slices of pizza or other pizza-related treats to guests who enjoyed the beautiful weather, shopping, beverages from DORA vendors and entertainment in City Lot 7. The 2022 Downtown Tiffin Pizza Party is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 15. SCYP's mission is to provide a group of career-oriented individuals opportunities to facilitate personal and professional connections, inspire others and to grow as individuals, and the group's vision is to enhance the vitality of the Tiffin and Seneca County community by creating a strong network of young professionals, a release from the group states.
