A huge THANK YOU to That Sista Support for hosting such a wonderful Father's Day celebration for the dads at our Center of Hope community!

Our fathers enjoyed a delicious meal, thoughtful gifts, and an evening filled with appreciation and fellowship. We are so grateful for the kindness and generosity shown to the families we serve.

Earlier this year, That Sista Support also treated our moms to a beautiful Mother's Day celebration, making both occasions truly special.

Community partnerships like these make a lasting impact, and we are incredibly thankful for organizations that invest so much love and support into our families.

Thank you, Sista Support! ❤️

📚🚌 Help Us Stuff the Bus for Wake County Students! 🚌📚

We are proud to once again partner with Walmart for our annual Stuff the Bus school supply drive!

Join us on Friday, July 31 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Walmart in Wake Forest as we collect much needed school supplies for local students in need.

🎙️ We're excited to have our friends from KIX 102 broadcasting live during the event!

For many families facing financial hardship, the cost of back-to-school supplies can be a challenge. Together, we can help ensure local students start the school year prepared and ready to learn.

A heartfelt thank you to the Searstone Retirement Community and the Searstone Foundation for their incredible generosity and partnership.

Their recent $50,000 gift is helping us continue and expand vital programs for older adults across our community. Because of their support, local seniors have already enjoyed meaningful experiences together, including a special visit to the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C and a powerful performance of Joshua at Sight & Sound Theatres in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

The Foundation is also helping us improve accessibility at our Community Center by funding the replacement of doors ensuring a more welcoming and accessible space for the seniors we serve.

In honor of this meaningful partnership, we are proud to launch Searstone Senior Enrichment, a dedicated initiative focused on creating engaging, uplifting, and enriching experiences for seniors throughout Wake County.

We are truly thankful for this investment in our mission and in the well-being of our senior community.

We were honored to celebrate National Donut Day with the wonderful team at the VA Clinic in Garner.

A heartfelt thank you to the veterans and staff who helped make the celebration so special. It was a meaningful opportunity to honor those who have served our nation and the dedicated professionals who care for our veterans each and every day.

A special shout-out to Krispy Kreme for helping us share smiles with their delicious glazed sweet treats! 🍩✨

National Donut Day is a cherished part of The Salvation Army's history, and we are grateful for opportunities like this to celebrate service, sacrifice, and community.

🍩 Happy National Donut Day! 🍩

Today, we are honored to celebrate this special day by serving donuts to veterans at the VA Clinic in Garner.

Did you know that National Donut Day was established by The Salvation Army to recognize the "Donut Lassies" who served donuts and offered comfort and encouragement to American soldiers during World War I? More than 100 years later, we're proud to continue the tradition.

Join us in celebrating our veterans and take a moment to thank them for their service and dedication to our nation. ❤️

We extend our sincere thanks to White Plains United Methodist Church for its generosity and partnership.

The church's recent yard sale was a tremendous success, raising funds to support its mission programs. In addition, when the sale concluded, church members donated the remaining unsold items to us, filling an entire truck with goods that will continue making an impact in our community. 🚚✨

These donated items will be sold through our Family Thrift Store, with proceeds helping fund our many social services programs. Every donation and every purchase help support services that provide hope and assistance to individuals and families in need.
