Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the United States. A day of freedom long delayed, and a reminder of the generations who endured unimaginable injustice.

It is a time to remember, to honor, and to reflect on the lives, stories, and courage of those who fought for liberation.

But Juneteenth also calls us to look honestly at the present, because while slavery was legally abolished, exploitation and modern slavery still exist today, affecting vulnerable individuals and communities across our nation.

The Salvation Army continues that fight today through our anti‑human trafficking programs, walking alongside survivors with love, safety, dignity, compassion, and hope.

We believe honoring the past means choosing how we live today, supporting one another, extending grace, treating every person with respect, and serving in ways that protect freedom and uphold humanity.

At every summer camp, young lives are shaped in the most beautiful ways: around campfires, in cabins, during worship, and through friendships that last long after the season ends. ☀️

Because of your generosity, children in our community get to enjoy a summer filled with adventure and encouragement, at a place where they can feel safe, have fun, and discover who God made them to be.

Your kindness opens the door to memories they’ll carry for years! 💛✨

Thank You to our friends at Cross Plains!!

Over the last week, we had the opportunity to celebrate some very special volunteers from Cross Plains who faithfully serve alongside us Monday through Thursday each week!

Over the years, they have helped with countless projects, always bringing smiles, laughter, and positive attitudes wherever they go. Their hard work helps us serve our community, but even more than that, their joy brightens our days!

As a small thank you for everything they do, we spent some time having fun together this week. We enjoyed making diabetic-friendly cotton candy and creating colorful tie-dye towels. 🎨🍭

We are so grateful for each and every one of these volunteers and the difference they make in our ministry. Thank you for sharing your time, talents, friendship, and joy with us. We love having you as part of The Salvation Army family!

Enjoy a few photos from our week of fun! 📸❤️

Have you felt the joy that comes from giving without expecting anything back?

There’s a special kind of joy that comes from giving with a full heart when no one’s watching, the kind that reminds us we’re part of something bigger than ourselves. It’s the kind of joy that fills your heart long after the moment has passed.

If you’d like to share that joy in our community, you’re welcome to support the work already happening. ♥️

School may pause for summer, but learning doesn’t have to. Summer doesn’t need to be a season where kids fall behind. ☀️📉

At The Salvation Army, we want summer to be a season where your children leap forward. And we are committed to this statement!

From Summer Sleepaway Camps for a week-long immersive experience that encourages independence and lasting memories to summer music conservatories, The Salvation Army gives children and teenagers a place to learn, play, explore, and stay rooted in community.

We help young minds stay bright.✨

Jesus didn’t wait for people to come to Him; He went to them and met them in their need with presence, compassion, and hope.

That’s the heart of volunteering with The Salvation Army. Whether you’re packing food boxes, mentoring a child, praying with a neighbor, or offering a warm smile at the door, you’re living out Jesus love in real time.

When you volunteer with The Salvation Army, you become the hands and feet of Jesus, showing His love in practical, everyday ways that change lives. ✨

If you feel called to serve your neighbors, we’d be honored to serve alongside you.🙏

“Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” James 2:17

There’s something admirable about the World Cup ⚽. How is it that one game has the power to bring thousands of people together, cheering with one voice? 📣

Giving creates the same sense of unity, as one act of kindness impacts an entire community and lifts up neighbors in need, regardless of their language or background. That’s something worth cheering!

You can support the mission in your community and give in the way that feels right to you.

This season, join the team that gives with joy and let your generosity turn it into something that brings real transformation in the lives of our neighbors.
