| 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.”
