As we close out National Salvation Army Week, we reflect on more than 150 years of service, compassion, and hope. ❤️

What began as ministering to people living in poverty on the streets of London in 1865 has now become William and Catherine Booth's worldwide legacy and mission dedicated to serving neighbors in need without discrimination.

From disaster response and emergency shelter to youth programs, food assistance, and spiritual care, The Salvation Army continues to meet human needs in communities across the world and right here in the Southwest Division.

Thank you for being part of this mission and for helping us continue to Give with Joy every single day.

Across the Southwest Division, lives are being changed through programs and services that provide encouragement, support, and hope for the future.

Every milestone reached, every obstacle overcome, and every new beginning is a reflection of what can happen when a community comes together to walk alongside neighbors in need.

Thank you for helping make stories of hope possible every single day.

We ❤️ Addist Bennett! “I never lost hope, even though it was very hard. But when I came here, I got out of survival mode and back to living.”

You might remember his story? Living life on the streets, after an injury kicked off some really tough seasons, Addist volunteered at The Salvation Army Chandler Corps relief center. There he connected with a social worker who helped him retrieve his driver’s license and birth certificate. He was getting back on his feet. Temporary housing was secured and soon, stability was on the horizon.

🙌UPDATE: Addist landed a job as a surveillance technician and is set to graduate with his associate's degree this fall!🎓

"By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong."📖

Stories like Addist's start pretty simply. "I was told that they just wanted to help me, and I needed help.”

That's us. We just want to help. Thank you for making our efforts possible. The water we provide saves lives. The connections we make when handing someone water can change lives for GOOD.

Want to care for the most vulnerable?
🙏 PRAY: for our neighbors in need that their tomorrow is brighter✨

Thank you ABC15 Arizona for shining your spotlight on Addist's hard work and perseverance!

A series of unfortunate events left Addist Bennett without a roof over his head, searching for food at community kitchens, and not healthy enough to carry his own belongings.

🏜️Arizona Gives Day has quite a tradition here in the Grand Canyon State. The Salvation Army does too. Commissioner William A. McIntyre trekked to Arizona to serve others back in 1893!

This was the beginning of critical assistance in AZ that has spanned every war and natural disaster of the last century in America.

We never stopped. They Salvation Army makes a difference every day in every zip code in Arizona. From metro to rural, compassionate folks make it possible to serve as we are called, "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in..."📖

Together, let's keep changing neighbors' lives for GOOD at salarmy.us/AZGives 🧡

Your generosity makes our youth programs, emergency shelters, food security, family assistance, and caring for Arizona's most vulnerable possible. God bless you!🫶
