RED SHIELD TRIBUNE: MARCH 2022 | VOL 1
WHAT IS LOVE BEYOND?
Love Beyond is an invitation to join The Salvation Army in helping suffering humanity. It’s a reminder to love others beyond all else.
Many people think of The Salvation Army as bell ringers and Red Kettles at Christmas. Few know the role the organization plays in helping suffering humanity throughout the year.
We appreciate each volunteer we have during the Christmas season, but our efforts do not stop when the trees are taken down. This monthly newsletter will serve as a way to keep you engaged with our efforts and opportunities all year. We invite you to join us alongside our events outside of Christmas.
Please reach out to Lauren Foster, Community Relations Coordinator for any questions or more information at lauren.foster@uss.salvationarmy.org.
VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION WEEK
Volunteer Appreciation Week is coming up on April 17 – 23. We'll be highlighting our incredible volunteers that help further our mission every day. We could not do what we do without you. Whether it's handing out meals, ringing a bell, sorting in our Angel Tree warehouse, tutoring at the Purdue Center of Hope, and beyond, you are individually making a difference in Memphis. For that, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
