The Thielens are supporting a text-to-give program to benefit The Salvation Army, which will be responding to increased needs brought by the pandemic with reduced opportunities for collecting money with red kettles and bell ringers.
To help, text SKOL to 24365. A suggested donation of $19 to match Thielen's jersey will help The Salvation Army fight hunger and empower youth in the Twin Cities community.
Last December, the Thielens sponsored five families who were part of The Salvation Army Pathway to Hope program and hosted a holiday party at the Mall of America. Caitlin enjoys staying connected with the families and has received positive updates about single moms who have since gotten back on their feet with the advocacy and support of The Salvation Army.
"I just love how they keep up with the families and continue to help them through their journey – not just during the hard times," Caitlin said.
She and Adam made sure to put a small personal touch on the event, as well. Individuals who received one of the donated turkeys also received a card that featured a family photo and Thanksgiving well-wishes.
"We both love being there physically in-person for all of these events, and that's been so hard for us this year," Caitlin said. "But we're just so thankful that we're still able to do things like this to give back."
