Kent County Annual Report 2016
Greetings,
As I look back on 2016, I am reminded of the many ways that God has blessed The Salvation Army’s work in Kent County. I am thankful for our volunteers – who donated more than 24,000 hours of service to help us help our neighbors in need.
I am thankful for our community – who answered the call by donating nearly 14,000 toys to support our Angel Tree Toy Drive in partnership with WOOD TV8.
I am also thankful for our Officers and employees – who provided extraordinary levels of compassion which instills hope in those within our community who needed it most.
As we plan for the days ahead, I am reminded of a quote from Abraham Lincoln: “The best way to predict your future is to create it.” I am humbled that God has once again laid opportunities to serve at our front door. These opportunities provide us with countless situations to create a future based upon helping the hungry, the homeless and the addicted.
Again, thank you for your continued support – it will serve us well in the days, weeks and months ahead. It has been my privilege to serve and uphold the work of The Salvation Army in Kent County.
Blessings,
Major Norman Grainger
Kent County Coordinator
