KENMORE, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Salvation Army has announced plans to close its Adult Rehabilitation Center, as well as its Thrift and As-Is Stores on Military Road.
In a statement, the Salvation Army said the decision to close the Adult Rehabilitation Center was made several weeks ago. We previously reported on its closure along with the closure of the thrift store located at 895 Payne Avenue in North Tonawanda.
Now, the Salvation Army says it has determined it will also close the thrift and as-is stores located on the same Military Road property as the Adult Rehabilitation Center.

"Places like this are awesome because it's really green, like you reuse stuff instead of sending more stuff to the landfill," shopper Lucas Santos said. "It's really cheap, and great finds most of the time," he added.
The As-Is store will close on December 19 and the thrift store will close on December 27.

"As was announced previously, The Salvation Army regularly reviews its program offerings and the decision to close the Adult Rehabilitation Center on Military Road was made several weeks ago. As part of our continuing analysis of the expense associated with the building's maintenance and upkeep, it has been determined the best course of action is to close the thrift and as-is stores located on the property. The As-Is store will close on December 19th, while the Thrift Store will close on December 27th. We are grateful for the Buffalo community's ongoing support as we continue to evaluate needs, as well as the resources necessary to meet them."
