❤️ One volunteer can make a difference.

After experiencing loss and looking for a new sense of purpose, Sherry found a way to give back through volunteering with The Salvation Army. Today, she helps serve between 85 and 110 meals each day she volunteers, but it's the relationships she builds that mean the most.

A familiar face. A warm greeting. A simple reminder that someone is seen and valued.

Volunteers like Sherry help strengthen communities every day, and there's a place for you to make an impact, too. Read Sherry's story and learn how you can get involved: https://salarmy.us/4yFLUIm

Last Christmas, Adriona wasn't sure what the holidays would look like for her family.

After moving across the country with her husband and three boys, she was working to build a new life in a new community. Then she found The Salvation Army.

What began with food assistance and weekly community meals became much more than that. Through Christmas assistance, her family received gifts for the boys and even a live Christmas tree.

Looking back, Adriona describes The Salvation Army in just a few words: "They are definitely a family to me." ❤️

A former student walked through Ellen's door looking for help.

Years after teaching her in the classroom, Ellen was still there when she needed someone in her corner.

Today, Ellen volunteers with The Salvation Army, helping neighbors navigate housing challenges, food insecurity, utility shutoffs, and life's unexpected hardships.

When asked why she keeps coming back, her answer was simple: "I feel very fortunate myself. I need to give back." ❤️

Volunteers like Ellen are making a difference in communities every day. If you've ever wondered how you can help your neighbors, there may be a place for you at The Salvation Army. Read Ellen's full story: https://salarmy.us/47ezKtC
