Dear Friend,
If The Salvation Army's Red Shield could talk, it might tell you how
we recently helped a man with diabetes get the insulin he needed... a
single mother purchase eyeglasses for her first-grade daughter... or an
elderly widow find the strength to face life on her own...
I enjoy sharing these small victories with you through my letters.
After all, your generosity makes them possible.
I know that from my desk at The Salvation Army, I have a unique
perspective, and I want you to know without a doubt that we are meeting
needs -- one person at a time, every day ... all year round. And the
scope of The Salvation Army's services extends far beyond this community.
It blankets the country. It covers the globe.
That's why I believe it's important for you to hear what people
outside of our ministry are saying about The Salvation Army. Over the
years, a number of well-respected individuals have spoken out on behalf
of our mission ... our service ... and our stewardship.
By endorsing The Salvation Army as a whole, they're supporting our
efforts here at home, as well. I've enclosed a few of the excerpts I keep
close at hand. After you read them, I hope you'll feel even more
confident about the role you play in helping us help others.
I hope your organization, too, will continue its endorsement of The
Salvation Army. Your gift today of $25, $50, $125, $250 or more will help
keep our Red Shield a strong, reputable symbol of hope -- for those we
assist, as well as for those who are watching!
Blessings,
Jack C. Getz Major DIVISIONAL COMMANDER
P.S. Your gift to The Salvation Army will be used right here in
Central Indiana.
