In South Carolina–the campaign will benefit families served by The Salvation Army.
“We recognize the needs in our community are great and are especially pronounced during the holiday season,” said Charlene Keys, area vice president, Operations, South Carolina. “Through the collective efforts of our employees, customers and the public, we hope to make the holidays a little brighter for children and families in need across our state.”
“The Salvation Army’s commitment to serve every county throughout North and South Carolina is facing its most challenging holiday season ever,” stated Major James Seiler, General Secretary for The Salvation Army’s North and South Carolina operations. “Thousands of needy families have turned to The Salvation Army to provide holiday cheer for their children and to meet basic needs.
