If you notice fever, white patches, or trouble swallowing, visit your local urgent care or your primary care provider.

This holiday season, our team members once again came together to support the Salvation Army Angel Tree program. For each angel adopted, teams provided an outfit, a coat, a pair of shoes and three items from the wish list. For 2025, we reached 55 angels adopted!

A special shout-out goes to our Facilities team this year. The Salvation Army faced challenges securing volunteer availability to load the truck, but our Facilities crew stepped in at a moment’s notice to help. Their support made a significant difference and ensured the gifts reached those in need. Thank you to everyone for making this season brighter for so many.
