PITTSBURGH — One of the region’s largest charity organizations is in need of help from the communities it serves.
Right now, the Salvation Army has a dwindling fleet of canteens in Western Pennsylvania. One recently broke down after nearly 32 years in service, and a few others are in need of repairs.
Repairing the canteens can cost thousands of dollars. All of them are custom-made, some have generators and many have old parts.

A new canteen can cost $150,000, and already, the organization’s maintenance budget is “stretched beyond belief,” said Michael Riemer, director of emergency disaster services.
