Meet our team

The Spring Exchange was born from a project management class at DePaul University. As a group of DePaul students, we deeply resonated with The Salvation Army's message and cause. Our goal is to continue spreading their powerful message and offer support in any way possible, and we invite our community to join us in this effort.

Beyond fundraising: Spreading a vital message

While raising money for The Salvation Army is a core objective, we also aim to highlight the incredible good they do and showcase the profound impact our community's donations can make. The Salvation Army's mission statement, "The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination," is a message we are passionate about sharing with everyone.

"Together, we can make a difference and spread hope through our community."
