Yesterday, we had the joy of joining Nappanee Parks and Recreation’s Summer Slide alongside Welcome Home Youth Advocacy and the Nappanee Chamber of Commerce! 💙

We had a wonderful time serving our community by handing out backpacks, serving hot dogs, and sharing some of our free resources and items with our neighbors.

A special thank you to our neighbors to the north, The Salvation Army - Elkhart, IN, for allowing us to borrow their Emergency Disaster Services canteen so we could serve hot dogs and be part of this great event! 🌭

Most of all, thank you to each and every one of you who stopped by to see us! We were truly blessed by your smiles, conversations, and support. It was a beautiful reminder of what can happen when our community comes together to care for one another.

We are grateful to be part of a community that continues to show up, lend a hand, and make a difference. ❤️

📢 Community Update

These last few weeks here at The Salvation Army have been incredibly busy. From providing camp experiences for our youth, continuing our senior program, and expanding our pantry services, we are grateful that we have been able to step up and serve our community in the ways that are needed most.

But we cannot do it alone.

This week alone, we assisted 80 clients through our food pantry. Behind every one of those 80 households was a team of people who showed up, gave their time, and served with compassion.

We had hands-on shoppers walking alongside clients through the pantry, helping them choose the items their families needed. We had front desk workers welcoming people, answering questions, and helping keep everything moving.

And we had people like Linda, a church leader here at The Salvation Army, who went above and beyond by volunteering 30 hours at our front desk this week alone.

That is what makes this ministry possible.

It is not just a building. It is not just a pantry. It is people serving people.

It is volunteers giving their time. It is staff working long hours. It is church members stepping in wherever they are needed. It is donors giving so that our shelves can be stocked. It is community partners helping us meet needs that are bigger than any one organization can handle.

We are incredibly grateful for every person who has stepped up during this busy season.

Do you want to get involved? Call (574) 533-9584 to sign up to volunteer for a shift as a pantry shopper or front desk volunteer.

Together, we are making a difference. Together, we are showing our community that they are not alone. ❤️
