Captain Amelia and Lieutenant Michael Mott are now the officers at the Olympia Corps. These officers are excited to meet the people of Olympia and serve those in need. The Olympia Corps serves neighbors in need with programs that include a client choice food bank, rental assistance, eviction prevention, church services, and youth services. The divisional leader of The Salvation Army Northwest, Lt. Colonel Cindy Foley says, “It is always a great moment in our local communities when a fresh and enthusiastic officer arrives on the scene. We have high hopes for the love and support the Motts will give to the people of Olympia through their service.
Captain Amelia has served in The Salvation Army for five years; Lieutenant Michael Mott was commissioned in June. They are excited to serve the Olympia community. Captain Amelia is from a Salvation Army family; she is a fourth generation Salvationist. Lieutenant Michael found The Salvation Army after graduating from the Adult Rehabilitation Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Motts look forward to exploring the northwest’s nature and sampling new restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops in the area.
The Salvation Army Northwest Division helps people overcome poverty, addiction, and economic hardships through a range of social services by providing food for the hungry, clothing and shelter for the homeless, disaster relief, senior activities and outreach, adult rehabilitation, and opportunities for underprivileged children.
