We had a spooktacular time at the beloved Del Ray Halloween Parade!

Our Alexandria Citadel Corps band brought the music, and our team even hosted a costume repair station to help parade-goers keep their Halloween looks in tip-top shape! 🧵🎶

We believe there’s always a way to get involved, give back, and make a difference. We’re proud to meet our neighbors where they are, show up for our community, and find joyful ways to serve all year long!

As we recognize , we’re reminded that food is about so much more than a meal. It’s about dignity, connection, comfort, and making sure our neighbors know they’re not alone.

Across the National Capital Area Command, The Salvation Army NCAC helps provide warm meals, food pantry assistance, senior food markets, and so much more, meeting people where they are and helping put food on their table.
