McHenry County restaurants celebrate National Salvation Army Week

The Salvation Army in McHenry County is celebrating National Salvation Army Week through May 18, and local restaurants are showing their support by donating a portion of sales to help the organization continue to meet the needs of 6,000 local neighbors.

Funds raised will help The Salvation Army meet the increasing need for social services, including shelter through emergency rent and utility assistance, overcoming food insecurity through its food pantry, providing comfort and care for survivors and first responders through emergency disaster response services and Christmas gifts for children.
