Every year, we take this week to celebrate our volunteers, donors and beneficiaries who have enabled us to serve our communities for over 150 years.
Typically observed in the second week of May, this National Salvation Army Week was first declared by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954 – 74 years after The Salvation Army arrived in the U.S. In his proclamation he noted:
“Among Americans, The Salvation Army has long been a symbol of wholehearted dedication to the cause of human brotherhood . . . Their work has been a constant reminder to us all that each of us is neighbor and kin to all Americans. Giving freely of themselves, the men and women of The Salvation Army have won the respect of us all.”
We’re thankful for this opportunity to recognize the volunteers who give their time and talents to The Salvation Army each year and enable critical services to communities, families and individuals in need. In celebration of this week, a variety of events and activities will take place across the country.
Thank you to all of our amazing supporters!
