Governor Stein Proclaims Salvation Army Week

Salvation Army Week 

2026

By The Governor Of The State Of North Carolina

A Proclamation

Whereas, The Salvation Army of Wake County has been serving the people of Wake County since 1887; and 

Whereas, The Salvation Army is present wherever need is greatest, especially during times of crisis, when vulnerable citizens are more at risk of becoming homeless, hungry, addicted, or spiritually tired; and 

Whereas, The Salvation Army invites the people of the community to help the organization continue to provide life-changing aid by providing shelter, food, and emergency disaster services to those who need help most; and 

Whereas, it is fitting and proper during Salvation Army Week to recognize the tremendous impact of philanthropy, volunteerism, and community service in the state of North Carolina; and 

Whereas, National Salvation Army Week is an opportunity to encourage residents to serve others with their resources and time to support those in need;

Now, Therefore, I, Josh Stein, Governor of the State of North Carolina, do hereby proclaim May 11 – 17, 2026, as “Salvation Army Week” in North Carolina and commend its observance to all residents.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the Great Seal of the State of North Carolina at the Capitol in Raleigh this twenty-seventh day of April in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-sixth and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.
