THE SALVATION ARMY AND B-THRIFTY Joining forces again for Disaster Relief By H. Dale Keeton, Ph.D. B-Thrifty considers it an honor to have a working relationship with The Prince William Corps of the Salvation Army. The two organizations have worked together over the past eighteen months on several projects (see the November 15, 2012 issue of Woodbridge News). Captains George and Robin Hackbarth and their staff and volunteers are outstanding partners, recognizing the value of teamwork (Together Each Accomplishes More). The latest natural disaster in Oklahoma calls for a response
from individuals and agencies who are willing and equipped to help. B-Thrifty is all about helping our neighbors and The Salvation Army has been doing that for many, many years. Oklahoma may seem to be a long way from Woodbridge, Virginia, but we are all still neighbors, part of the human family, distance notwithstanding. The recent tornado that hit west of Oklahoma City and killed 18 people was wider than any tornado ever observed or surveyed, according to the National Weather Service. The massive El Reno, Oklahoma twister reached a maximum width
of 2.6 miles. Property destruction and personal loss are virtually immeasurable. During the month of June and July, 10% of all sales at B-Thrifty will be given to the Prince William Corps of The Salvation Army. This money will be used to help with the relief efforts resulting from the tornado damage. In order to tally this percentage, shoppers are reminded to drop their sales receipts in the boxes adjacent to the checkout registers.

Pero a menos que seas un gurú de lavandería, esto es más fácil decirlo que hacerlo.
