BB&T gives Spanish-language tapes to Salvation Army

Published: October 22, 2008

The Salvation Army of Winston-Salem said that BB&T Corp. has donated audio tapes, valued at $100,000, to the group as part of its educational and marketing outreach to Hispanic immigrants.

The Salvation Army is giving away the "BiBi" Spanish-language tapes during its annual Christmas service registration drive this week at Pinebrook Shopping Center from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. The drive registers qualifying residents to receive food, clothing and toys from the Salvation Army in December.

The tapes -- which cover such topics as housing, education, health care, insurance and basic finance -- will also be distributed at the Salvation Army's Corps Community Centers, which are staffed by Spanish-speaking officers. For more information, call 723-6366.(quote)


From the Democracia website:

The bigoted rhetoric against immigrants that is increasingly becoming an acceptable part of our public dialogue feeds this intolerance and leads to these situations where human beings are psychologically and physically denigrated. We call on local, state and federal officials along with all citizens to change the tone of the debate on immigration, before this country slides further into an abyss of racial profiling and physical attacks againts undocumented -- and unprotected -- immigrants.
