For me, this is more than blind faith. I know the money put in the buckets provide for those in need. Because 11 years ago I & my girls were recipients of money given to Salvation Army. That money provided a roof over our heads, food in our bellies and clothes on our backs for about 4 months.
Living at the Women & Children Shelter at Salvation Army was all we had at the time. We made the best of it, and the best came out of it.
So for me when I see the Salvation Army person out there ringing the bell, playing an instrument or even dancing. I begin to get very emotional. I give graciously every year I can. Because without Salvation Army we would have not only be homeless but we would have been on the streets.
So it’s not just a bucket to me. It was a resource that I could use to take care of my girls while I was getting back on my feet. So I encourage everyone that reads this to please give to the bucket. It really does make a difference to many families.
Take Care. Much Love.
