"Need Knows No Season"

I know, I know: Long time, no blog. I have been out of the office, healing up after eye surgery, so please excuse my blog-absence over the last couple of weeks. When I told friends that I would be having this surgery, many of them responded with, "Oh, well it's a good thing this is the slow season for The Salvation Army." This always makes me laugh, because although Christmas is admittedly a busier time then usual, there really is no "slow season" for The Salvation Army. "Need knows no season" is a phrase often touted by The Salvation Army and its staff, and it's true that long after the bells from the red kettles have died down, need is ever-present. So while things have calmed down from the frenzied pace of the Christmas season, it's far from "slow" around here, and I am thankful that we have programs in place to help and serve those in need 365 days a year.
