Greatest mistake is to do nothing

“It is the greatest mistake to do nothing because you can only do little -do what you can.” – Sydney Smith, English author

My phone has been on fire this morning! The calls from our corporate partners have been pouring in and we are truly grateful for your support.

When William Booth founded The Salvation Army in 1865, his mission was to meet the needs of the poorest in London in a practical, holistic way – providing food, shelter and counsel. And today, we’re able to stay true to that original mission and provide that same practical service to our fellow Hoosiers affected by the flooding.

Partners like you are helping us reach out to the flood victims in a variety of ways. The folks at Kaplan Financial and Brighpoint Communications are conducting hydration drives where employees are bringing in bottled water and Gatorade. (Flood victims are at a shortage for clean water since many of those counties are on water boil orders.) Others, like Tree of Life Bookstores and Delta Faucet, are collecting funds from employees and customers. And Fifth-Third Bank is collecting funds at their area branches.

Not sure how to join the relief efforts? Give me (Kristen) a call at 224-1019. Every donation counts (whether it’s $1 or $10,000) since 100% of our donations in times of emergency go directly to those in need.

Thank you to all of you who are helping. Your partnership is crucial each and every day of every year!
