In December, Governors Bill Lee of Tennessee and Andy Beshear of Kentucky signed proclamations declaring “Hope Marches On” month in both states to honor the work of The Salvation Army.

“The Salvation Army has remained steadfast in their commitment to Kentuckians, especially during the challenges,” said Governor Beshear.  “As we enter the Christmas holidays, I was proud to personally thank these heroes and officially proclaim December 2021 as Hope Marches on Month in honor of the organization’s continued efforts to help families in every corner of the commonwealth.”

Since tornadoes ripped through this part of the country this December, The Salvation Army has provided over 22,000 meals, 23,000 snacks, and 13,000 drinks. Additionally, more than 2,700 people were reached for spiritual care.

Hope will continue marching into the new year as The Salvation Army plans for long-term recovery efforts in communities impacted. The Salvation Army was one of the first to respond and is committed to long-lasting efforts to help neighbors rebuild.
