The Salvation Army in the Baton Rouge area has written an article to express their gratitude due to the extreme generosity of the Baton Rouge community. While other Salvation Army branches are dwindleing, the Baton Rouge sect is able to run itelf easily and sufficiently because of the increase in charitable collections and donations. In the Baton Rouge are there was a 13 percent increase in donations this year. Shortly after the article begins to talk about all the things that Salvation Army does for the city and its surrounding areas. With donations and help for the homeless and the poor, as well as sponsered programs for substance abuse users, the Baton Rouge Salvation Army is continuosly helping the community. Other programs for children after school assist aproximately 1300 families in the nearby area. In conclusion the author thanks his supporters again and then ask them to please continue to support them for the good of the community.
I really liked this article because I feel it is important to contribute and to donate to your surrounding charitys. I also think that it is important for everyone even those in need to be thankful and express your gratitude. I think the article was very well writted and can easily gain even more support from the community.
