Operating as usual
Today is the first day of winter. ❄️ Unfortunately, winter weather means more dangerous conditions for our neighbors experiencing homelessness. That's why we offer a wide variety of housing programs and services to shield them from the cold.

The states of Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming, as well as Guam, make up The Salvation Army’s 🇺🇸 USA West Territory. Start the week with us, thinking about this part of the world!
Our movement’s work here is varied. ‘The Way Out’ is a key programme, looking to step up our impact on homelessness and rough sleeping – doubling our impact by 2024. Though impacted by the pandemic – which has also seen a large response from The Salvation Army – our work in this area continues. Elsewhere, rehabilitation programmes, anti-human trafficking work, child day care centres, emergency shelters and work with senior citizens are all manifestations of our Christian faith.
Join us in praying for these states of the USA. The Salvation Army there has requested particular prayer for the impact of their work; for the health of all connected to our movement, particular in these days of pandemic; and for the presence and guidance of God in all programmes and activities.

Indelible was the mark made on American culture in December 1891 when two inventors of a different kind came up with similar but revolutionary ideas: Joseph McFee, of San Francisco, Calif., and James Naismith of Montreal, Canada.
Naismith taught 18 men to play a game which required that they drop a ball into an elevated peach basket. At the time, they were students at the School for Christian Workers (later the International YMCA Training School, now Springfield College) in Springfield, Mass., and needed something to do for recreation. They quickly learned to enjoy the activity, as it attracted crowds who cheered whenever a player scored a goal.
Dr. Naismith, who introduced his invention—the game of basketball—never imagined it would grow into a sport that today is played by more than 300 million people worldwide.
Keep the pot boiling
Meanwhile, Joseph McFee, a Salvation Army pastor, was distraught because so many poor individuals in San Francisco went hungry. During the holiday season, he resolved to provide a free Christmas dinner for 1,000 of the city's poorest individuals. However, finding funding for the project was an intimidating challenge for the former English sailor.
As he thought about the problem, his mind drifted back to his sailor days in Liverpool, England. He remembered how at Stage Landing, where the boats came in, there was a large, iron kettle called "Simpson's Pot" into which passers–by tossed a coin or two to help the poor.
The next day, Captain McFee got a crab pot from a local wharf and placed it at the junction of Oakland Ferry Landing and Market Street. To elevate the pot, He hung it from a tripod. He also placed a sign above it that read, "Keep the Pot Boiling."
McFee adorned it with a colorful plant to attract onlookers. He and other officers wore their blue uniforms. Women wore a bonnet and a cape; men wore epaulets on their shoulders and a cap. They took turns ringing the bell.
Just as Naismith taught his students to drop a ball into a basket, McFee also taught passers–by to drop financial donations into a kettle. In doing so, both ballplayers and donors captured the exhilarating feeling that comes when one finds purpose and meaning in reaching a goal—be it points scored in a basketball game or funds raised to help the poor.
Six years later, Salvation Army kettles had spread from the west coast to the east coast’s Boston area. That year, the combined effort nationwide resulted in 150,000 Christmas dinners being served for needy individuals and families.
Today in the United States, The Salvation Army assists more than 4.5 million people during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
Kettles are now used in such distant lands as Korea, Japan, Chile, and many European countries. Contributions to the kettles enable The Salvation Army to continue its year–round effort to help people who would otherwise go hungry.
