On September 28, 2019, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm, The Phoenix Branch rang door bells around multiple neighborhoods to sell tote bags to support the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army is an international charity that has a membership of over 1.7 million, consisting of soldiers, officers and adherents collectively known as “Salvationists”. They strive to support those in need by healing their addictions, hunger, and homelessness.
Michelle Yu, Katherine Wei, and Marina Hu participated in this 2 hour event. Volunteers both sold tote bags and asked for any donations such as clothes and shoes to give to the Salvation Army. While they were only able to sell a couple bags, they had received 4 huge bags full of clothes, shoes and backpacks!
