Salvation Army has helped 1,600 - with community help

This week is National Salvation Army Week, and I would like to acknowledge the great staff and volunteers we have here at the Salvation Army in Havre and the great community of Havre.  

Through your efforts, we have been successful in helping more than 1,600 families and individuals since Oct. 1 — the start off our our fiscal year — to present.

I am very thankful to our table sponsors for the annual meeting that was held in April 8. Gary & Leo's Fresh Foods, Rose Coulee Ranch, Bob and Gen Kaftan, Charles and Patricia Floyd, the Rev. John and Connie Chapman, Gerald Williams, Majors Jim and Judy Goodwin-Retired, Milk River Cooperatives and Milk River Lofts are the ones who made it possible at that meeting to honor our volunteers and celebrate the 100 years that the Salvation Army has been a presence in Havre. Last weekend we had a fundraiser, the Talent of the Hi-line, to help us.

 The performers were fantastic and very generous with their time and talent. Thank you to Ken Overcast for emceeing and performing, Scott Hamilton (loved your piano playing), The Rutherfords (representing the Salvation Army) with your great voices and guitar playing, and Molly Halingstead performing with her voice and fiddle playing. All of you made the fundraiser very successful.

The needs here in the Havre  community are very great and I am very grateful for the donors who support us to make emergency service happen. My request is for continued prayer as we meet the needs of the neediest of the community as those needs are rising higher than ever before.

Thank you to United Way for allowing us to be a funded partner and those who donate to United Way. God bless each and every one of you.
