In 1964 President Eisenhower proclaimed a National Salvation Army Week to remind people of all the help that we provide. These days it is observed in May during the week following Mothers" Day, 11-17/2026.
Our committee is working hard to promote it by advertising in the windows of empty stores (thank you Vickie Rutherford and Katie Woods).
Also thanks to DaNell's Pizza for hosting our paper kettles for which people donate $1, it is then posted with their name on it. (thank you to DaNell's and Andrea Cuson).
Also, thanks to Four Hearts for hosting a basket to accept donations of dish soap, liquid detergent, TP, cleaning supplies etc throughout the month of May.
You may have noticed that Dimitris have a permanent kettle on their counter for which we truly thank them. Please feed it when you can.
Now that I am really getting into the thankful mood, I want to also mention SLCAD our wonderful landlord's who give us space and help us in lots of other ways and to GLWB who graciously donate our internet. Also to Tim and Sue Honey of Cricket Hill Farm who keep us supplied with fresh eggs (I boil one each day for breakfast!).
Thank you to our volunteer committee members, Katie Woods, Bridget Derrick, Andrea Cuson, Kenyon and Betsy Glor; to our wonderful treasurer of more than thirty years, Dan Gossman, and to his hard-working staff.
Thank you to all our donors and all our volunteer bell-ringers. Please forgive me if I left anyone out - thankyou DHQ for always having my back.
