00:03
while we're mostly known for our red
00:06
kettles the Salvation Army works to meet
00:08
the needs of over 20,000 Fargo Moorhead
00:10
community members with services that go
00:12
largely unnoticed throughout the year
00:13
and we've been hard at work serving our
00:16
community for more than 125 years we are
00:20
first and foremost a church faith is a
00:22
the cornerstone of what we do and we
00:25
seek to provide for the basic needs of
00:28
individuals but also show them the love
00:30
of Christ without discrimination Jesus
00:32
that is all some days that's all we can
00:36
do isn't it when we talk about what the
00:38
salvation army does we often hear I
00:40
didn't know that the Salvation Army did
00:41
all that salvation army's so they do a
00:44
pretty good job I see i get to pledge
00:46
what they do do aside from our iconic
00:49
red kettles the Salvation Army is known
00:51
for our soup kitchen which serves hot
00:53
and homemade meals daily that our
00:54
downtown Fargo headquarters you'll find
00:58
our church pews filled every Sunday
01:00
morning but beyond the pulpit our office
01:02
staff program coordinators and case
01:04
managers work behind the scenes to
01:06
deliver services like housing and rent
01:08
assistance as well as one of our newest
01:10
programs called pathway of hope this
01:13
service pairs up a Salvation Army case
01:15
manager with families to help them meet
01:17
their goals of self-sufficiency rather
01:19
than just getting that quick fix timber
01:22
to fix that emergency we want them to
01:24
get to the root of that problem find out
01:27
why they're coming in there for the
01:28
emergency services and really dig into
01:32
that so that they don't come in time and
01:34
again for those emergency services and
01:36
really get back on their own two feet we
01:39
also have our mobile outreach meals
01:40
program where we provide meals during
01:42
the summer months and we have our
01:44
emergency disaster services team that's
01:46
year-round and then a lot of seasonal
01:48
programs such as our coats for kids and
01:49
families holiday food boxes gifts for
01:52
kids whose parents are incarcerated and
01:54
also haircuts for going back to school
01:58
those that volunteer their time talents
02:01
and resources are the lifeblood of our
02:03
organization
02:05
so volunteering with salvation army go
02:08
in ask them call them and they will
02:11
definitely let you volunteer with them
02:13
because they enjoy having new people
02:15
come in and they're always looking for
02:17
people in general to help whether that's
02:20
someone returning or a new person that's
02:23
just it's really easy to get in and
02:24
volunteer here the staff and the other
02:27
volunteers that we work with our oh
02:29
there you just tell that they're their
02:32
hearts are in the right place without
02:35
their continued support we would simply
02:37
not be able to provide the wide range of
02:39
services that are needed in the Fargo
02:41
Moorhead community well I just would say
02:42
that anybody would be interested in
02:44
serving the Salvation Army let this let
02:47
the spirit lead you faith is the
02:50
cornerstone of what we are it guides us
02:51
in what we do every day as we are
02:53
looking to see what programs to
02:55
implement what things to adjust how to
02:57
best meet the needs of this community
02:58
faith is the aspect that's always
03:00
driving that those and it feels in your
03:04
destroyit bills in this love and we want
03:07
to make sure that we are always loving
03:09
people with the love of Christ and
03:11
loving them without discrimination and
03:12
helping them meet their basic needs in
03:14
the process
03:21
