Earlier today our very own Clayton Castle made a trip out to Salem Lutheran Church and provides us with this update of Salem West recovery tonight. It's been three weeks since we told you about the recovery efforts of Salem West and Deerwood after its building was destroyed in an arson fire. Tonight we update you on the progress the organization has made in the last three weeks. We have been outstanding on the community support. We have gotten numerous donations that you see behind me and volunteers have come in to help work through and sort through these items that have been donated at this time all the way to the point of storage buildings being donated and monetary funds being donated also. When we visited three weeks ago we thought we saw a lot of donations filling the room that's nothing compared to now. Now donations fill the room halfway to the ceiling. We've had outstanding support from the community not only like I said not only in the donations but the volunteer work that has come to and I've gotten people that I barely know coming up into me and saying I'm thankful for the stuff that you do I appreciate what you do here's five dollars and it's like well thank you very much. As for the old building it has been demolished beginning Monday Salem West will move into its new building just a block away from Salem Lutheran Church and the old Salem West building. Monday will be the first day we'll be collecting donations over there. There will be people still working here at the church cleaning up the last of the donations that have been dropped off here but Monday will be the first day that the computers will be available up and running full steam and our turnaround rate has been great. As if these items weren't enough Salem West has also collected about 20,000 dollars in donations since the fire reporting in Deerwood Clayton Castle Lakeland News. If you're interested in donating to Salem West you can drop off items tomorrow at Salem Lutheran Church starting Monday all donations should be dropped off at their new building.
