Salvation Army Major Curtis Kratz inspires New Bern service
Major Curtis Kratz and his wife have led Salvation Army work in New Bern since 2018 guiding stores, shelters, and meals across Craven and Pamlico counties. They survived Florence and Dorian disasters, adapted to COVID-19 with online services and safety measures, while expanding programs like Angel Tree and Empty Stocking to help families and children in need. Curtis emphasizes feeding, rent and utility support, and sharing Jesus, collaborating with Rotary and local nonprofits to sustain aid amid donations downturns. He hopes to continue serving wherever assigned and urges community generosity.
