During our national advisory board meeting, advisory board and Echelon members spent time volunteering at our Pittsburgh Temple Corps.

Living out our mission means showing up for communities in need—together.

This National Donut Day, I joined @OANN to talk about the origins of this holiday—when @SalvationArmyUS served donuts to troops on the front lines of WWI—and how that spirit of service continues today through support for veterans and communities in need.
