Local Salvation Army Names Officer

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Lt. Trisha Smouse has been named associate corps officer at the city’s Salvation Army branch. Lt. Smouse started her new appointment in the spring. She joins Lt. Bree Barker at the Saratoga Springs corps.

Smouse was commissioned a Salvation Army officer and minister in 2016. She previously served as an officer at the Berwick Salvation Army in Pennsylvania. Prior to entering the Army’s College for Officer Training, she was the Human Trafficking Program Coordinator for the Salvation Army in central Ohio, where she was responsible for program oversight and clinical supervision for the Army’s anti-trafficking program. That included constant emergency response to victims, case management for survivors and street outreach.

Smouse holds an undergraduate and master’s degrees from The Ohio State University and is licensed in Ohio as a social worker.

Since 1888, the Salvation Army in Saratoga Springs has been helping residents through an emergency food pantry; basic needs assistance; after-school programs for middle school children; feeding programs; and sending kids and teens to the Army’s sleep over camp in the Finger Lakes. Each year, more than 3,000 people receive support, thanks to generous donors, volunteers and corporate partners.
