The Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary will hold its Ninth Annual Chili Bowl and Auction on Feb. 14.

Dessert will be provided by Jimmy Lynn of Dakota's Steak and Chop House, and Marsha Swann of Distant Lands Coffee will be serving coffee and tea.

Captain Ben Lawrence of The Salvation Army certainly sees the benefits this event will bring in helping serve those in need in Smith County.
“The Salvation Army would not operate without working together with our community and this chili supper is just another way of raising our standard to meet the needs of hurting people here in Tyler,” said Salvation Army Captain Ben Lawrence in a written release. “With the need for food and shelter at an all time high, we welcome those in need with soup, soap and shelter first, and then provide them with God's word. From the beginning we endeavor to train each individual to go into our community with a job skill.”
The Western-themed event will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Harvey Convention Center. Tickets are $10 and are available at the door, from any Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary member, or at The Salvation Army office at 903-592-4361.
