Dear Friend,

There is "a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance," King Solomon wrote in the Book of Ecclesiastes. For many thousands of individuals and families, 2019 was a time of great suffering and sorrow in the wake of the devastating flooding that impacted parts of Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota. Yet it was also a time of hope and optimism as we witnessed the tremendous outpouring of generosity and compassion from the greater Omaha metro and beyond.

We hope you’ll take a few minutes to read about all the ways The Salvation Army serves our neighbors and impacts our community – both in times of catastrophic disaster, as well as in the hardships so many suffer in their everyday lives. We consider it a great privilege to live out the simple but powerful mission of the Army – to help those in need in Jesus’ name without discrimination – and we are deeply grateful for your support of this work.

May God bless you richly today!

Letters from Our Leaders

Dear Friend,

Most of us don’t typically see beyond the familiar bell ringers and red kettles to glimpse the breadth and depth of The Salvation Army’s impact on our community. This past year, however, was the exception. As flood waters caused more than $3 billion in damage across a three-state area, we witnessed The Salvation Army mobilize a multi-state operation to provide thousands of flood survivors with food, water, spiritual support and material and financial assistance.

Disaster relief makes headlines, but equally important – though much less visible – is The Salvation Army’s daily work of meeting basic human needs: feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, counseling and supporting those who suffer from mental illness and addiction and providing educational opportunities and a safe place for our most vulnerable youth.

Thank you for taking the time to read about The Salvation Army’s impact on our community. I am grateful for your generous support of our mission and honored to work alongside all who are committed to "doing the most good."

Sincerely,

David BishopAdvisory Board Chair

Housing

Just over $3 million was donated to flood-relief efforts in the Metro Omaha area, which included Fremont, Valley, Bellevue, Council Bluffs and several other communities in southwest Iowa and Nebraska. Nearly all contributions to the disaster were invested in direct assistance to victims. The remainder was used for logistical needs such as storage, transportation and supplies.

The Salvation Army strives to maintain its financial health and a balanced budget. However, the Army is not immune from challenging economic conditions within a given fiscal cycle. Over the long term, the Army has demonstrated that we have, and will continue to earn, the confidence of individual donors, grantors and contractors, enabling us to adapt in a manner which will allow us to provide quality human service programming well into the future and to be good stewards of the financial resources entrusted to us.
