During the COVID-19 pandemic, my family was in a financial crisis. Fortunately, we found the generous hearts of The Salvation Army. They helped us with food every week (using correct COVID-19 protocols), they offer free used clothing and other household items, including a microwave to replace ours when it had broken. They offer daily lunches to those in need. My favorite part of the lunch is the prayer before we eat. If you have a prayer request, you may fill out a small form to be read by the pastors. They don't force religion on you but instead, offer you God's Salvation with open arms should you want to attend Christian based services. They give out free winter hats, scarves, gloves, & mittens as well as winter coats. They run the Red Kettle program every winter and out of this donated money, $0.82 of every $1.00 goes back into the organization towards helping the needy! I could go on all day about how they help the world so go check out their websites!
