WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) was recognized with the "Fight for Good" award by the Salvation Army for his advocacy of policy priorities that support vulnerable populations during the 118th Congress.

The Salvation Army presented its "Fight for Good" award to lawmakers who demonstrate exceptional leadership and champion policies in support of its mission to alleviate poverty and prevent homelessness throughout the United States.

"I greatly appreciate the tireless work of the Salvation Army and its members to better the lives of Arkansans and Americans. It is an honor to receive this recognition from such a storied and admirable organization whose values we all share. I look forward to continuing my efforts to support those in need," Boozman said.

Approximately 2,700 Arkansans experienced homelessness in 2019, marking a 33 percent decline since 2007.

The Salvation Army provides food, shelter, eviction prevention assistance, emergency disaster relief, rehabilitation, after-school and summer youth programs, spiritual enrichment and more at over 6,400 centers of operation around the country.
