Salvation Army Prepares for the Holiday Season<br />
<strong>The</strong> Salvation Army of the MidShore<br />
seeks support from businesses, community<br />
organizations and individuals as they prepare<br />
for their holiday season assistance programs.<br />
While the <strong>The</strong> Salvation Army<br />
offers hope and help to our neighbors in<br />
need throughout the year, the holiday season<br />
is their busiest time when community<br />
support is needed the most.<br />
For the December holidays, the Salvation<br />
Army sponsors two programs to make<br />
the season brighter for those in need: Angel<br />
Tree Adoptions and the Red Kettle Drive.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Angel Tree Adoption initiative seeks to<br />
provide Christmas gifts to underprivileged<br />
children in the five counties that consist of<br />
the Upper and Mid Shore. <strong>The</strong> Salvation<br />
Army identifies children in need and shares<br />
their “wish list” with community members<br />
by placing their information on Angel Trees<br />
at businesses, churches, and other locations.<br />
Organizations and businesses are encouraged<br />
to sponsor an Angel Tree at their<br />
location or commit to supporting a specific<br />
number of children in the Angel Tree program.<br />
Individuals can also participate by<br />
choosing a child to support from an Angel<br />
Tree in their area.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Salvation Army’s Red Kettle<br />
Drive is one of the most recognized Salvation<br />
Army Programs and one of the most<br />
popular charitable programs during the holidays.<br />
Red kettles are placed outside of<br />
local businesses throughout the holiday<br />
season to raise funds for year-round assistance<br />
programs including disaster relief,<br />
housing and homeless services, veterans<br />
services, elderly care and much more. Organizations<br />
and businesses can sponsor a<br />
kettle and/or schedule their members to<br />
ring the bell at a kettle in their area.<br />
“We hope that our friends and neighbors<br />
will partner with us this holiday season<br />
to make this time of year a little<br />
brighter for those in need,” comments<br />
Major Brooks Gilliam, corps officer at <strong>The</strong><br />
Salvation Army of the MidShore. “<strong>The</strong> Salvation<br />
Army is always in need of volunteers<br />
to support our initiatives year-round, but<br />
our needs are always greatest at this time of<br />
year. Through our Angel Tree and Red Kettle<br />
Drive we expect to distribute Thanksgiving<br />
dinner cards to 700 families-in-need<br />
and at Christmas we project providing a<br />
Christmas dinner for 700 families, gifts for<br />
over 1,200 children and gifts and assistance<br />
for over 275 seniors.”<br />
