To the food pantry coordinators, housing assessment administrators, school programs tutors, Christmastime toy givers and bell ringers, emergency disaster teams, and all of our volunteers and donors…

The year 2012 has come and gone with opportunities to serve our neighbors in need. Because of your incredible support, from donated time, money, goods and services – our organization is able to have the greatest impact on the greater needs of our community. 82 cents of every dollar can go directly to beneficiaries – including emergency food, rent and utility assistance, elderly visitation, veterans’ affairs, disaster relief, human trafficking abolition, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, spiritual counseling, after-school programs, summer camps and Christmas assistance through Angel Tree programs.

It’s amazing to see so many people reaching out, especially during economic hardship, to help those who have it a little bit tougher. While The Salvation Army is happy to help more and more people every year, we know this means that there are more and more people in need. We could not do it without you!

Thank you for making 2012 a success!

We hope you have enjoyed supporting The Salvation Army and will continue to be an asset in our mission!
