Meet Sara

Like many babies in the family, Sara had been the recipient of hand-me-downs most of her life.  She had never received new school clothes and often lacked confidence on that first school of school.  Sara has three older siblings so by the time the clothes reached her, they were often stained and tattered. 

This year, Sara’s mom signed up for the back-to-school shopping event that The Salvation Army hosts each fall.  Sara was given the opportunity to shop with a volunteer from the community for new school clothes and shoes.  The Salvation provided Sara with a new backpack and school supplies as well. 

For the first time, Sara was able to walk into the first day of school with pride and confidence with new clothes and supplies like the other children.  Sara began fourth grade prepared for her studies and not worrying about how she felt in her hand-me-down clothes. 

Each Fall, The Salvation Army of Santa Rosa provides new school clothes, shoes, and supplies to more than 100 underprivileged children in our community.  When you donate to a red kettle or ring a bell for The Salvation Army this Christmas, you are helping the youth of our community find confidence and start the school year off right.  You are part of the mission Behind the Bell.
