We are so grateful for companies like FedEx who help us help those in need.
We are so thankful for FedEx's generous canteen donation! The new vehicle, stationed in St. Marys, Georgia, will provide more flexibility when it comes to disaster response across the region. Thank you FedEx for your continued support! #LoveBeyondDisaster #HopeIsOnTheWay #FedExCares

Many schools across The Salvation Army Central Territory are now in session--and others will be soon. Please join us in prayer as the 2024-25 school year gets underway. God of all wisdom, we praise you for gifting us with curiosity and learning. Give to all students, teachers, and caregivers a clear sense of your love. May they feel your presence throughout this school year. Guide their choices, their quest for knowledge, and their relationships. Amen. #LoveBeyondSchool

While many disasters garner national and even international attention, the greatest effects are felt at a local level. This is one of the reasons The Salvation Army puts a focus on the full life cycle of disaster recovery and not just immediate response. In March of 2023, the town of Rolling Fork, MS saw entire neighborhoods leveled by powerful tornadoes, and recovery is still underway over a year later. A dedicated case manager works with survivors to oversee these projects and guide them through the process of recovery. After more than a year of living apart, Betty and her husband were thrilled to move into their new home and be back together as a family. “We really appreciate what you are doing and have done,” Betty shared. “You are still here, and that means a lot.” Read more: https://loom.ly/E9-XaRg

Back to school shopping is even better when it’s with Erin & Ben Napier! We teamed up with our local corps and the Napiers in Laurel, MS to help 7 kids from our summer camp program get ready for school. #backtoschool #community #toolsforschool

So exciting to see the backpacks in the hands of the families!
We had a fantastic Back to School Drive with South Dade Toyota of Homestead. 🎒We were thrilled to join The Salvation Army and Toyota Lexus Minority Owners Dealership Association to distribute 100 backpacks filled with school supplies and a $10 Walmart gift card. It was a collective effort that brought smiles and gratitude to everyone who came by. Each backpack, filled with everything needed for the school year, was a testament to our community's support, allowing local students to have the necessary tools for the 2024-2025 school year. Thank you to our internal staff, who participated and helped make this event a core memory. Your support and involvement make our community initiatives possible. A special thanks to our loyal customers—your support made this possible. Together, we're supporting our community! ✨ #BackToSchool #CommunitySupport #MakingADifference #SouthDadeEducationFund
