		<description><![CDATA[More than a half-century ago, President Dwight D. Eisenhower declared one week in May to be "National Salvation Army Week," for the purpose of recognizing the Army's role in alleviating human suffering.  The official proclamation read, "Among Americans, The Salvation Army has long been a symbol of wholehearted dedication to the cause of human brotherhood."]]></description>

In other words, they take items that may be a little rough around the edges and invest some time getting them to shine again. Their beautiful rooms show the world that nothing - and no one - is beyond redemption. ]]></description>
