"Heart to God, Hand to Man" -This has been a Salvation Army motto for many years.
It is a motto that expresses what we are trying to do. It also embraces the words of Jesus Christ --"I was hungry and you fed me…Truly to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine. Even the least of them you did it to Me."

But in these times of world unrest, this motto takes on special meaning.

With the tragic events of the past year and the personal loss felt by so many as well as the ongoing issues that face many Americans, the need for a helping hand by someone with a heart for God is greater than ever.

The Army is still on the scene in the East, helping with food, grief counseling and monetary support for families of the terrorist strike. The Army is on the scene throughout the world helping to alleviate suffering. And right here in Orange County, The Salvation Army is on the scene as well.

Families are comforted and helped with food and clothing in times of need. Homeless men, women and children are housed and fed. Young people are given a safe and structured environment to grow and develop. And new opportunities to reach out with a helping hand are being developed continually. The newest effort came this year with the addition of the Henley Youth Center housing "The Creator's Corner" Christian preschool and after-school programs. What a blessing to hear the sound of children laughing and playing and learning.

With our Orange County Advisory Board taking the lead, we will continue to push for increased housing services for the homeless. We are actively looking at locations for much needed emergency shelter space for women and children.

Your support and generous gifts allow us to carry on the work of our Lord. We thank
all who have given of their time, talent and financial resources to support
The Salvation Army.

Thank you for helping reach out with a "Heart to God and a Hand to Man".

God bless you.
