Salvation Army Minot Match announced

Thanks to a partnership with the Minot Junior Golf Association, people can help the Minot Salvation Army make up for a shortage in its donations.

Every gift made to the Minot Salvation Army between now through Aug. 1 will be matched by the Minot Junior Golf Association and Wee Links – up to $50,000. The $50,000 Minot Match is a generous donation to help in donations.

“We came up $100,000 short of our Christmas Campaign goal and this is an opportunity for us to make that shortfall disappear,” said Captain Debbie Stahl, Minot Salvation Army administrator. “It’s a wonderful gift.”

How to give

People can donate online at salvationarmynorth.org/

community/minot/, in person or by mail. Check or money orders can be sent to the Minot Salvation Army, 315 Western Ave., Minot, ND 58701.

All donations given between now and July will count toward the match. For example, a person who gives $10, the Minot Jr. Golf Association and Wee Links will match that gift for a total of $20.

The Minot Salvation Army provided an example of how much good a gift will help: In a typical month the Minot Salvation Army serves nearly 800 people through its food shelf. That translates to nearly 19,000 pounds of food helping to sustain families in poverty.

Last year the Minot Salvation Army helped dozens of people when they needed assistance with transportation, hundreds were helped with utility bills, hundreds more were assisted with their rent, and thousands were welcomed at the food shelf.

National Donut Day

All Coburn’s and Cash Wise grocery stores in North Dakota, including Minot’s Cash Wise grocery store, will be selling specially-marked Salvation Army boxes of eight glazed donuts for $2.99 from Sunday, May 28, to Saturday, June 3. The stores will donate $1 to The Salvation Army for every box sold. Supplies are limited.

National Donut Day is June 2. The Salvation Army is often credited with popularizing the donut in America. It started during World War I when female Salvation Army volunteers – affectionately known as Donut Girls – brought donuts to American GI’s on the front lines in France. This year marks the 100th anniversary of America’s entry into World War I and Donut Girls serving sweet treats to the front lines.
