The gift is part of a $2 million dona- tion to help deliver basic ser- vices such as food, shelter or emergency fi nancial as- sistance through Salvation Army locations across North Carolina. Sgt. Les Ashby, local corps administrator, called the funds a "true blessing." Since the pandemic began, requests for assistance from The Salvation Army have risen sharply, he said. "People who have never walked through the doors of The Salvation Army are asking for help," Ashby said. "They are coming to us on their darkest day. We spend time with them to fi nd solu- tions. The same people leave with hope and reassurance. We cannot thank SECU and SECU Foundation enough for giving us the means to provide hope." Jo Anne Sanford, SECU Foundation board chair, said, "The Salvation Army lives its commitment to help- ing care for the most vulner- able to COVID-19. Their staff and dedicated volunteers are focusing additional ef- forts to serve those in need during this diffi cult time. We are happy to provide our support and we applaud the ongoing efforts to make a crucial difference in the lives of people and communities in our state." SECU Board Chair Bob Brinson said, SECU and the SECU Foundation wanted to fi nd a way to assist that would provide the greatest impact. The donations are part of a joint commitment by SECU and the SECU Foun- dation to provide up to $10 million for COVID-19 disas- ter relief efforts. "Thousands of people are struggling from loss of wag- es, health issues and many other challenges as a result of the pandemic," Brinson said. "The Salvation Army's strong leadership and part- nerships with North Caro- lina organizations who have experience and ability to act quickly will offer welcome re- lief and hope during a time of great need."
