| Taking Time to Help |
Tim and Desta Hunt’s first exposure to The Salvation Army stretches far beyond their local corps in Fergus Falls, MN. In fact, this husband and wife team credits the decision to spend their retirement years volunteering for The Salvation Army to seeing the organization in action throughout the world. Tim’s involvement in the military brought the Hunt family from country to country, and they spent several years in India while Tim was the Defense Attaché at the American Embassy. By living internationally in a variety of settings, the Hunts say that they had the opportunity to witness The Salvation Army changing the world first-hand: “It became very clear that no matter who you are, no matter what you do, if you need help, The Salvation Army is there for you. No exclusions. No discrimination. And the most amazing part? They expect nothing in return.”

Service extension units function in communities where there are no Salvation Army corps community centers (churches) or where population and community needs warrant additional services. Each unit is administered by a committee of volunteers who believe in The Salvation Army's mission. Most units do not have an established office, since they are operated by volunteers who work from their own homes, cars or offices. With more than 4,000 service extension units in the United States staffed by over 20,000 volunteers, The Salvation Army is ready to support individuals and families in crisis anywhere in the country.
