Award Recipients

We are proud to recognize The Cleveland Vicon Company and the Poe Family with the “Others” Award. For more than five decades, the Poe family has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to The Salvation Army in Greater Cleveland through humble service and steadfast support of our mission. Beginning with founders Don and Carol Poe and continuing through the next generation of leadership, the Poe family and Vicon have consistently shared their time, talent, and resources to help strengthen our community. From board leadership and volunteer service to employee engagement and philanthropic support, their legacy reflects the spirit embodied by General William Booth’s challenge to put the needs of others first.

We are equally honored to present the Donald Strang Community Service Award to The Cleveland Ohio Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Through an extraordinary partnership with The Salvation Army, the Church has helped address food insecurity across Cuyahoga County. To date, the Church has donated more than 60,000 pounds of food, delivering multiple truckloads of shelf-stable items to help our families facing hunger. Their commitment to meeting human needs and strengthening communities exemplifies the spirit of service that this award was created to honor.
