Sinclair Teams with The Salvation Army to Raise Awareness About Homelessness
Sinclair is teaming up with The Salvation Army to launch Sinclair Cares: From Homeless to Hope, a nationwide initiative dedicated to raising awareness about homelessness.
Sinclair Cares: From Homeless to Hope looks to shed light on the many faces of homelessness and highlight solutions that offer hope and stability.
The station group will produce content to air within its newscasts throughout the campaign, which runs from March 17 to March 23. Sinclair stations will air a 30-minute special on March 22 and 23 (airing on stations' websites on March 19) that delves into the realities of homelessness across the country, told through the experiences of individuals and families impacted by housing insecurity.
"At Sinclair, we are committed to using our platforms to inform, inspire, and drive meaningful change," said Rob Weisbord, COO and president of local media. "Sinclair Cares: From Homeless to Hope aligns with our mission to spotlight critical issues and connect people with resources. By partnering with The Salvation Army, we hope to make a tangible difference in the lives of those facing hardships and inspire others to take action-whether by lending a hand to someone in need or offering resources to those seeking support."
"The Salvation Army is committed to providing lasting solutions for individuals and families in crisis. Through emergency assistance, transitional housing, case management, and holistic wraparound services, we strive to meet immediate needs while empowering people toward long-term stability," said, Colonel James Betts, National Chief Secretary of The Salvation Army. "Our work would not be possible without partners like Sinclair, whose commitment to amplifying the message of urgent need for housing support drives awareness and mobilizes communities to take action. We are grateful for their commitment to sharing stories of hope and impact, inspiring others to join our vital mission-whether through volunteering, donating, or advocating, everyone has a role in ensuring no one faces homelessness alone."
The Sinclair Cares: From Homeless to Hope newscast segments and special will also showcase the critical work being done in local communities by The Salvation Army on the front lines – combating homelessness via emergency shelters, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing for individuals and families in need; financial assistance for families struggling with rent, utilities, and essential living expenses to prevent eviction; and empowerment through education, workforce development programs, and employment opportunities to regain financial independence.
Sinclair Cares: From Homeless to Hope will also be supported through public service campaigns across the company's owned and/or operated television stations.

The Salvation Army to celebrate National Donut Day
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Officials say on June 6, The Salvation Army plans to celebrate National Donut Day. The Salvation Army says during World War I, women volunteering with the organization traveled to France, setting up field bases near the front lines. They provided soldiers with vital supplies, spiritual and emotional support, and donuts. The donuts became a morale booster amid the war. Known as the 'Donut Lassies,' these women are often credited with popularizing the donut in the United States when the troops returned home. To both honor their service and raise funds for those affected by the Great Depression, The Salvation Army established National Donut Day in 1938. Three bids revealed for proposed Tepe Park splash pad 'National Donut Day is a meaningful holiday for us, serving as an important reminder of the impactful work we do daily to support our neighbors,' said Captain Victor Haworth of the Owensboro Corps. 'We take pride in being part of the nation's largest nongovernmental provider of social services and serving the Western Kentucky community. Today, we not only celebrate a beloved treat but also our ongoing commitment to serve as a positive light in people's lives.' A recipe for donuts can be found below.

With love, 96-year-old Jeanette Milaschewski hand sews curtains for new Salvation Army cafe in Newburyport
'We had to get my son-in-law to help us get it off my daughters-in-law's dining room table,' she said with a laugh. 'So, it was kind of a family endeavor.' They also made a couple of pillows that matched the drapes and could be placed on chairs inside the cafe, she said. Advertisement Jeanette Milaschewski, left, and Major Jessica Berkhoudt hold pillows Milaschewski also made for the renovated cafe on Water Street in Newburyport. The Salvation Army/Teak Media The new cafe at the Salvation Army's location on Water Street will provide free meals to anyone in need, offering a 'welcoming and inclusive space,' the organization said in a statement. The ribbon cutting coincides with Hunger Awareness Month. 'This renovation project reflects a broader community commitment to supporting the needs of all neighbors,' The Salvation Army said in the statement. For Milaschewski, the project was a labor of love. Decades ago, she said, the Salvation Army helped her husband, Howard, a World War II veteran who died in 2016. He would write letters to his family after he contracted malaria while participating in the liberation of the Philippines during World War II. 'Howard told me that after the war, his father said to him, 'Son we thought we lost you until we got those letters from the Salvation Army,'' Milaschewski said. Advertisement 'Howard was just so grateful for the selflessness and dedication of this organization, [and] this was my chance to pay back some of what Howard felt for the Salvation Army,' Milaschewski said. Jeanette Milaschewski, 96, with a picture of her late husband, Howard, a WWII veteran who sent letters home with help from The Salvation Army during the war. Teak Media Darling Consulting Group, a local financial consulting firm, provided financial support for the cafe, the statement said. Milaschewski's daughter, Janet, works for Darling and found out that draperies were needed for a large window inside the cafe, Milaschewski said. 'When the issue came up that they needed curtains, or draperies, for that window in this big room, my daughter Janet said, 'Oh my mom can do that,'' Milaschewski said, laughing again. 'So, she asked if I would be willing to take this project on, and I said, 'absolutely.'' Adam Sennott can be reached at
