Local Salvation Army's "Doing the Most Good Week" Underway Local Salvation Army's "Doing the Most Good Week" Underway

5/13/13 - A number of volunteers will be out and about working to do some good and help better the community this week. The Salvation Army of Livingston County is celebrating national “Doing The Most Good Week” and a variety of community and human service projects are planned all over the county. It’s all part of National Salvation Army Week and local volunteers were out planting flowers today to help beautify downtown Howell. Other “help your neighbor” projects are planned in Brighton, Hartland and Pinckney all week long while summer lunch bunch collections and sign-ups are underway. On Thursday night, tickets are still available to a special mother and daughter night out event featuring a prominent comedian. Then on Friday, a community garage sale at the Salvation Army’s 503 Lake Street offices in Howell will round out the week and offer free tours and education about the local Corps. Also in honor of Doing the Most Good Week, the local Corps is selling t-shirts with The Salvation Army shield that read “Doing the Most Good” on front, and “I’m a Do-Gooder” on the back. Officials say this week marks a great opportunity for area youth, small groups, civic organizations, co-workers, family and friends to help by giving as little as two hours of their time and contribute to big results for the community.
