The holiday season is upon us, and for over 20 years our team had the joy of serving at Salvation Army Olathe! This year, 33 members of the Fulling team, family and friends, came together to pack and sort gifts for families in need. Thanks to the incredible efforts of Salvation Army Olathe, many families will receive holiday gifts this season.

One of the incredible missions of the Salvation Army is holiday giving. “The donations we collect during the holiday season not only help us provide gifts to children who would otherwise go without, but they also help us provide food, shelter, and utility assistance to those who need it most every day of the year.”

Our team volunteered on two separate evenings, packing bags for families in need during this Christmas season. Afterward, each group celebrated with a delicious meal—one night at 54th Street Grill and the other at Mi Ranchito.

Serving our community has become a cherished tradition for us, and we look forward to continuing this meaningful partnership with the Salvation Army each year.

“While serve events are fun and promote team building, my heart was broken by the number of individuals whose tags were still sitting on the table that would not receive support this year.” - Rusty, CEO

“My favorite part about serving at the Salvation Army is giving gifts to others. It brings me joy even when you can’t see their faces.” - Sammi, age 8

“Serving at the Salvation Army brings a smile to my face.” - Daija, age 10

 “Christmas is a season of giving, which for many of us means showering those we love with gifts. But it’s also about giving to those most in need.”
