Whatever you’re carrying today, you don’t carry it alone. Jesus says, “Don’t let your heart be troubled.” Lean into His strength.

At Ground Zero after 9/11, search-and-rescue dogs’ paws couldn’t handle the debris. Then a shipment of socks arrived.

Ken Tregellas remembers putting five pairs on each paw so the dogs could keep working, changing their socks when they came back from the debris and sending them out again.

It was a powerful reminder that when people come together to help, there is a place for everyone to make a difference. Find your way to serve at SalvationArmyVolunteer.org.

Jesus doesn’t just offer life — He offers life abundantly. Wherever there is emptiness, He brings fullness. Wherever there is fear, He brings peace. In Him, we find the life our hearts were made for.

September is National Preparedness Month. A simple plan, a ready kit, and protected documents can make all the difference when disaster strikes. The Salvation Army’s Emergency Disaster Services stands ready to support our communities before, during, and after the unexpected.
