KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The Salvation Army's Sober Living program in Kansas City, Kansas, will close on Sept. 30.
“Unfortunately, funding for this program ran out in December, and it has proven difficult to replenish what is needed to continue operations,” Major Xavier Montenegro, Kansas City Area Commander for The Salvation Army, stated in a news release on Tuesday. "This is the biggest challenge we face and continue to pray for more resources so we don't have to end beneficial programs."
The program began two years ago with a grant from Wyandotte County's American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
The program served recovering alcoholics at its facility at 6723 State Ave., in KCK.
The facility provided a safe place for recovering alcoholics battling to beat the disease.
