Salvation Army Celebrates

This week the Salvation Army will celebrate National Salvation Army week across the country. The Detroit Salvation Army has made the week an annual tradition through their “Doing the Most Good” Week.

DMG Week encourages people to do something positive for their community. They've even come up with a list of tips to help people achieve do-gooder status and Salvation Army has posted some of them on their blog. We've listed some of the list below.

IDEAS FOR “DOING THE MOST GOOD”

•When you buy in bulk, share your surplus by dropping off any non-perishable food item to your local Salvation Army.
•Bring flowers to work and share them with your coworkers.
•Volunteer to be a tutor in a Salvation Army after-school program.
•Join The Salvation Army in their visits to sing to seniors and residents of nursing homes.
•Offer a couple of hours of baby-sitting service to friends and family.
•Have a Salvation Army Doing the Most Good Day at work, with employees bringing nonperishable food and toys to donate to the charity.
•Pay a compliment to someone at least once a day.
•“Dial a smile” and call or visit a housebound person or older relative.
•Say something nice to everyone you meet.
