Good. It is a small ordinary word, but to The Salvation Army it means a lot of extraordinary things.

It spans the entire calendar year because the need for good is great, and means much more than what is seen on the surface.

Poverty means more than just someone going hungry. It means going without. Without medical care, without a home, without clothes. For us, Doing the Most Good means providing emergency rent or utility assistance for a family. It is a meal and a conversation at a homeless shelter; a warm coat in the winter.

A child at risk means a child stricken of their youth, hiding inside for fear of violence, and growing up before they've had a chance to be a child. For us, Doing the Most Good means allowing a child to experience childhood. It means providing a safe place to dream, to explore their future through music, the arts, athletics, friendships, and the chance to simply be a kid.

Addiction steals everything. Trust, integrity, family, career, and hope. For us, Doing the Most Good means healing the whole person. Healing the body through rehabilitation, inspiring the mind through education and counseling, repairing the spirit by reuniting families, and restoring communities.

Disaster hits on all levels, globally, locally - in many forms. A fire, a flood, a tornado, a pandemic. And Doing the Most Good means being there first and staying throughout. In every ZIP code we are supporting not only the survivors but also the first responders sacrificing everything for someone else. And we don't leave when the disaster is over because this is our neighborhood too.

We say Doing the Most Good because doing the most feeding, sheltering, educating, rehabilitating, comforting, providing, empowering, and rebuilding doesn't fit on our letterhead.

So the next time you shop at one of our thrift stores or drop money in a red kettle or click donate on our website, know that you are Doing the Most Good. And it means a lot of extraordinary things.
