Donna has been a committed monthly donor to The Salvation Army\u2019s Red Shield for over 14 years, which allows for funds to go towards the area of greatest need, and she recently confirmed a gift in her will to benefit The Salvation Army\u2019s ministry in Kamloops. Additionally, her father\u2019s estate will also benefit the Kamloops ministry, an area he held dear in his heart.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For Ben, supporting The Salvation Army was very important, and he often shared stories of seeing The Salvation Army serve workers in remote parts of the province. As a BC Hydro employee in the Interior, he admired the organization\u2019s commitment to offering food and essentials to those in need. Donna recalls her father\u2019s dedication to charitable giving, emphasizing that his philosophy of giving continues to inspire her and her family to support The Salvation Army.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Through her ongoing donations, Donna sees the impact of The Salvation Army\u2019s work firsthand. She particularly appreciates how the organization consistently steps in to help during natural disasters like the wildfires in Kamloops. From providing financial and emotional support at welcoming centers to offering essential resources to those affected, their presence reinforced Donna\u2019s trust in the organization.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>My inspiration to continue doing work for The Salvation Army, among many others, is seeing The Salvation Army present. Whether it\u2019s in a place where there\u2019s a lack of housing, where there\u2019s conflict, I see them working in floods, or in a place where people need food. It\u2019s very valuable, to see them always doing something good for people, no matter who they are.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What she finds especially meaningful is her ability to direct her donations locally, seeing the positive effects within her own community. For Donna, donating to causes that make a direct difference in Kamloops brings deep satisfaction.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A key factor in her support is the organization\u2019s commitment to using donations effectively, focusing resources on the community rather than on promotional expenses. Donna values knowing her contributions directly aid those in need, aligning with her family\u2019s tradition of supporting impactful causes. Her story is a testament to how one family\u2019s values and legacy can bring lasting hope and support to a community.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Follow Donna&#8217;s example and help those who need it most.
