Army Week events across the country highlight the importance of Americans
giving back to their local communities to support their neighbors in need. The
very first National Salvation Army Week was declared by President Dwight D.
Eisenhower between November 18 and December 4, 1954 as a reminder to Americans
that they should give freely of themselves.
Though the dates have
changed, the work of The Salvation Army has not. Since The Salvation Army began
its social service work in the United States in 1880, the organization has
grown into one of the largest social service provides in the country, directly
supporting nearly 30 million Americans each year, through a variety of
programs. To learn more about The Salvation Army visit www.SAmilwaukee.org.
