FACE – Maria is the cook at our Waltham Corps Community Center – she helps to prepare many the 22,000 meals annually provided out of their tiny kitchen.

FACT – William Booth once described his fledgling organization as “a volunteer army.”
His son, Bramwell, said “Volunteer?! I’m no volunteer, I’m a regular!”
He reportedly scratched out the word “volunteer” and wrote “Salvation” in its place. In that historic moment, The Salvation Army was born.
