The center will be located in the Lake Arrowhead Office at 4861 Lakeland Drive and will provide a central location where people can register to volunteer for storm-relief – and where those needing assistance in the wake of the storms can find support. Salvation Army representatives and personnel from collaborating agencies will staff the center. The center’s Monday and Tuesday operating hours will be 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. The Salvation Army will be providing a free breakfast at the center starting at 8 Monday morning.
