This week, our Nation honors the men and women dedicating their time to serving fellow Americans through the influential efforts of the Salvation Army. These volunteers exemplify the essence of the American spirit, enhancing our national community with their compassion and dedication.
Established in 1865, the Salvation Army has been a beacon of hope, offering faith to the weary, meals for the hungry, shelter for the homeless, and a renewed sense of security and purpose for those overcoming years of hardship and addiction. Their endeavors are a powerful testament to our Nation’s enduring values of generosity, goodwill, and volunteerism.
Over the past 250 years, our Nation has been characterized by an unwavering spirit of sacrifice and service, inspiring everyday Americans to perform extraordinary acts for one another. During National Salvation Army Week, we continue this proud tradition and commit to remaining a Nation dedicated to “Doing the Most Good.”
