A LETTER FROM THE ADVISORY BOARD CHAIR

Dear Friends,

I count it a blessing and a privilege to serve as Chairman of The Salvation Army’s Advisory Board. I’ve given more than a decade of services to The Salvation Army. Not only serving on the board, but as the pastor of the Newport Missionary Baptist Church, our congregation offers praise and worship services with the families at the shelter. Individuals and families at the shelter love to give their gratitude in worship back to the Lord because they appreciate the services provided through The Salvation Army.

It’s a blessing to serve on the board because The Salvation Army provides services 24/7/365 by way of using its resources, ensures a blessed Thanksgiving and Christmas experience for the families served, provides a roof over their heads, food, clothing, mental health, medical assistance, summer camp to the children, and so much more.

I’m grateful The Salvation Army continues to grow in exciting, inclusive, and innovative directions, and I greatly appreciate the opportunity to be a part of it. We look forward to your ongoing love and support of The Salvation Army.

Kind regards,

Anthony Smith, Advisory Board Chair
