Comcast recently celebrated the opening of its second Xfinity Store in Shreveport and recognized a $15,000 grant to The Salvation Army of Northwest Louisiana.
The grant will support digital literacy training for adults and families participating in programs at the Merkle Center of Hope Shelter and Red Shield Youth Center. Expected to serve approximately 300 people over 12 months, the program will help participants build skills such as using computers, applying for jobs online, creating resumes and navigating the internet safely.
The new Xfinity Store is located at 6025 W. 70th St. in Shreveport. Comcast has supported The Salvation Army’s work in the community for more than a decade through charitable grants, employee volunteer projects and a Lift Zone offering free Xfinity WiFi.
