The Salvation Army kicked off its annual red kettle campaign on November 19th. This year, the Army is issuing a rallying cry for Americans to “Love Beyond.”

The organization’s message is simply that when we love beyond hunger, love beyond shelter, and love beyond disasters, we can provide hope and help for millions who need it. Love Beyond is also a symbol of the resources and programs that 30 million Americans rely on year-round when they turn to the nation’s largest private provider of social services for assistance.

Each year, The Salvation Army provides shelter, food, and financial assistance to those in need. As well as provides year-round services to people who are facing poverty, domestic abuse, addiction, isolation, and more.

Community members can contribute to The Salvation Army’s mission in several ways:

--Donate digitally with Apple Pay.

--Ask Amazon Alexa to donate by saying, “Alexa, donate to The Salvation Army,”

--Donate physical gifts in bulk.

Or visit https://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/ to offer your support.

Merry Christmas and thank you for helping us Love Beyond the holidays.
