The Salvation Army West Park Collaborates with Cleveland Browns’ Deshaun Watson

Cleveland, OH (June 20, 2025) – The Salvation Army’s West Park Corps Community Center, located at 12645 Lorain Ave, hosted its monthly free fresh produce distribution for local residents. This event provided over 250 individuals and families with a variety of fresh produce, including cabbage, squash, watermelon, corn, and peaches, enough to sustain them for up to 10 days. 
 
The Salvation Army partnered with Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson to support this initiative. Watson attended the event, helping local residents select produce and transporting the goods to their cars. 
 
“We are grateful for the support of our community partners and local sports teams. This program is essential for our West Park community, especially during these hot summer months,” said Major Juanita Stanford, Commanding Officer of The Salvation Army in Cleveland West Park Corps Community Center. 
 
The Salvation Army in Cleveland West Park will continue to host monthly produce distributions on the third Friday of every month. In addition to the produce distribution, the organization offers a choice food pantry on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, from 10:00 AM to 12:45 PM.
