Volunteer Tom Mullinix says the Door County Salvation Army is well-capitalized to provide rent and utility relief for area residents as a wave of layoffs cascades through the area. Mullinix says the community was so generous during the prosperous times, including the recent holiday season, additional support is not needed now.

Mullinix says he can see the extension become more active in shoring up local food supplies, something it usually leaves to other organizations. He expects that the strain on the supply chain seen at the grocery store will trickle into nonprofit food pantries as well.
