Monday's Hometown Heroes was Teri Hansen. Teri and her husband Jeremy are middle-class parents and after being hit with COVID-19, a layoff, and a cancer diagnosis, Teri's chemotherapy nurse suggested she try reaching out to The Salvation Army. Teri was able to find the food resources her family needed and one day, while in the drive-through food line, an employee approached her and asked her to share her story, which inspired over 3,000 donations in the month of March, raising over $600,000. Today, Teri's cancer is back for the third time and in a new location, but The Salvation Army continues to be a refuge for her family throughout tough times.
