Events

Kidz Day is an annual Salvation Army event for the benefit of our local at-risk youth at The Salvation Army Red Shield Community Center in South Modesto. 100% of the funds raised assist in providing our youth with spiritual, educational and athletic programs at the Red Shield. The Red Shield is a safe haven for these children in one of Modesto’s poorest neighborhoods. Kidz Day provides an opportunity for local people to help local children. Without this effort these children would not have the opportunities that our youth deserves.

On May 14th, volunteers will distribute copies of a special edition of a Morris Newspaper publication dedicated entirely to The Salvation Army Red Shield Center. This special newspaper will include articles and photographs describing the Red Shield’s programs for children in the Greater Modesto Area.
