When You Can Make a Difference, Do It

When my employer, Click Here, first assigned me to The Salvation Army account, I was mostly ignorant of who they were and what they did. I recognized their red kettles and bell ringers outside of various stores, but I was ignorant of the ways they help the communities in which they operate.

I was surprised to learn that they also were one of the 6 organizations that, during World War II, formed the USO, which many years later provided me with fond memories growing up as a military brat on the tiny island of Okinawa.

Now, knowing the good that The Salvation Army does to foster community and fellowship, to rebuild lives that are effectively destroyed by addiction, slavery, and disaster, and to give comfort and support to those who need it -- especially during Christmas -- I would be remiss to not show them my thanks for those fond memories by helping them do their calling.

Happily for all of us, their calling makes this world a better place.

Will you help me follow their lead? - Cam Beck
