Salvation Army marks new Spring Hill center with ribbon cutting
Spring Hill’s new Salvation Army center at 342 Beverly Court is now complete. The move brings food aid, worship and youth programs closer to Hernando County families.
At 342 Beverly Court, the Salvation Army’s new Spring Hill center shifted from a recent move into a finished community hub, with leaders marking the site’s completion at a June 8 ribbon cutting. The ceremony gave Hernando County a clearer picture of what the corps will now offer in one place: hunger relief, worship, youth programs and seasonal outreach.
The local post had already opened its doors on Jan. 29, but the June event signaled that the building is now ready for full use. For about 40 years, the Salvation Army served Hernando County from Brooksville, and Lt. Criselda DeLeon said the relocation grew out of an aging building and rising community need. Community leaders attended the Spring Hill gathering, refreshments were provided by Chick-fil-A Spring Hill’s John Mitten, and a band played as the ribbon was cut.
The new center is meant to do more than host ceremonial events. DeLeon said the site will support ministry and worship programs, a food pantry, a chapel for faith services, summer camps, music programs and holiday Angel Tree efforts. That makes the Beverly Court location a year-round service point rather than a single-purpose office, with the potential to connect families to both immediate aid and longer-term support in a part of the county where demand has been growing.
The need is already plain in the organization’s own priorities. The Salvation Army’s Hernando County page says the greatest current need is non-perishable food items, a reminder that the most basic strain facing many households is still putting food on the table. Lt. Col. Kent Davis, the Florida divisional commander, said the opening reflected what can happen when a community comes together around service.
With its office now listed at 342 Beverly Court, Spring Hill, FL 34609, and a local contact number of (352) 796-1186, the corps has a more visible base in the county’s growth corridor. The move does not erase need in Hernando County, but it gives residents a permanent place in Spring Hill to seek help, worship and volunteer support as that need continues.
