Salvation Army Thanks Bermuda Community
The Salvation Army has extended their thanks to the community for the “generosity and care” this past Christmas, saying the donations “made a difference in the lives of those seeking assistance.”
Salvation Army Divisional Commander Major Frank Pittman said, “A sincere ‘thank you’ to the Bermuda community for their generosity and care shown to those persons in need of assistance this past Christmas. Your donations have made a difference in the lives of those seeking assistance through the Salvation Army.
“Wheather your donations were food or finances; given by school students or families, churches, businesses, corporate donors, community organizations or individuals; all together we have made a difference in many, many lives this past Christmas.
“The Salvation Army also wishes to thank the host of volunteers who assisted the Army to prepare, serve and minister to the many who came for assistance. Some 1,321 families were assisted representing 657 children receiving toys. Over 2,185 adults received a Christmas Hamper and this included 449 seniors.
“The help that the Salvation Army provides at Christmas and throughout the year is a reflection of God’s blessings and the generosity of the people of Bermuda. With your continued support we remain committed to ministering and providing services 365 days a year.
“Thank you and may God Bless you.“
