Salvation Army Job Fair to Fill Posts in Brighton

The Salvation Army has a number of open positions at each of its 33 Salvation Army Thrift Stores and three warehouses throughout southeast Michigan.

Finding employment has been difficult for many Michiganders lately, perhaps no more so than those living in the greater Detroit communities.

In doing their part to help fight unemployment, the Salvation Army is hosting a job fair from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 17 and 9 a.m. to noon July 18 at the Southeast Michigan Adult Rehabilitation Center, 1627 W. Fort Street, in Detroit.

The Salvation Army plans to hire several people to fill a number of positions at its 33 thrift stores, including the one in Brighton Thrift Store at 7000 Grand River Rd. and three warehouses across southeast Michigan. Officials say there are plans to do on-the-spot hiring at the job fair.
