This is the start of National Salvation Army Week! Today, we recognize bravery in action right here in Lee County and are grateful for the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and community partners.

The proclamation issued by Rebecca Wyhoff-Salmon at the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast held at St. Luke United Methodist Church on May 7, 2026, is a meaningful reminder that compassion, service, and hope continue to make a lasting impact in the lives of our neighbors every day.

“Brave” describes the work of Salvation Army staff and volunteers who go into difficult places to serve neighbors in need — standing beside families facing impossible choices and offering hope during moments of crisis.
