“This is a tremendous gift to support our ongoing work for those most in need,” stated Major Larry Ashcraft. “Every day we work here to meet human needs through programs reaching those of all ages. This generous gift will ensure that we can continue to help in the future.”
“Over the past year The Salvation Army served in meaningful ways approximately 60,000 people in Greater Cincinnati.
