When asked why he reached out to The Salvation Army for the event he said. “There could not be a better choice than to support The Salvation Army. My 87-year-old mother has fond feelings for The Salvation Army going back to the care, comfort and overnight accommodations they provided to my mom and grandparents when my mom was 4 years old.”
The Salvation Army is in the middle of their Red Kettle Campaign for 2017 with a goal of raising $500,000. The funds raised during the annual campaign support Salvation Army programs throughout the year. In 2016, The Salvation Army served over 31,000 individuals in Northwest Ohio by providing utility, rent, food, clothing, prescription, and transportation assistance. The Salvation Army staff help individuals understand their innate value and ability to be self-sufficient by providing a hand-up, not a hand-out!
