Happy Father's Day! "As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him." Psalm 103:13

Today, we give thanks for fathers, grandfathers and father figures who reflect God's love through their compassion, guidance and unwavering support. May you be blessed as you continue to make a difference in the lives of those around you.

A child's confidence can grow from a single moment of encouragement.

When children are supported as they try new things, they begin to see what's possible for their future. But not every child has a positive role model to cheer them on, offer guidance or help them believe in themselves.

Through mentorship, tutoring, counseling and youth programs, The Salvation Army connects young people with caring adults who encourage their growth and help them build a brighter future.

Behind every meal served, grocery box delivered and family supported is a community that cares.

Local food assistance programs are only possible because of the generosity of donors, volunteers and supporters who help ensure resources are available when they are needed most.

Tomorrow is National Donut Day, a tradition that began with The Salvation Army's "Donut Lassies" during World War I. These courageous women served fresh donuts, supplies and encouragement to soldiers on the front lines, bringing comfort during some of their most difficult days.

More than a century later, their legacy continues to inspire us. National Donut Day is about more than a sweet treat. It's a reminder that simple acts of kindness can make a lasting impact.

As we celebrate tomorrow, we honor the Donut Lassies and all those who continue to serve others with compassion, hope and joy.
