In the heart of Winston-Salem, where compassion meets action, stands The Salvation Army, a beacon of hope that has illuminated the lives of countless individuals for over a century.
In 2023, it welcomed 105 Boys & Girls Club members, supplied 15,000 nights of shelter for unhoused children and families, served 223,000 hot, nutritious meals, and sponsored more than 1,200 children under the Angel Tree program.
Now, The Salvation Army of Greater Winston-Salem is aiming higher with a new $500,000 project—a teen center at the Ken Carlson Boys & Girls Club, fostering the growth of young adults. This initiative represents a commitment to the future, a pledge to empower the next generation and shape leaders who will continue to make a positive impact.
The Salvation Army cordially invites the community to support
the new endeavor and its other programs at the fifth annual Hands and Hearts Dinner on Thursday, April 18, 2024, at 6 p.m., at the Boys & Girls Club in Winston-Salem.
It is promised to be an extraordinary event! Brace yourself for engaging tours, artwork by the renowned Leo Rucker, an enchanting silent auction, and a delectable meal from Village Tavern—all hosted by 102 JAMZ, 98.7 SIMON, and 97.1 QMG.
