As the American South struggles with unusually cold weather, the Salvation Army has teamed with other organizations to deliver comfort to people in need. Many of the cities that have received snow this winter do not even have snowplows because snow is so unusual, meaning that only an inch has caused major gridlock. In Atlanta, Georgia, and Jackson, Mississippi, the Salvation Army has offered hot meals and coffee to drivers stranded on the Interstate. In Atlanta, some drivers were trapped on the road for more than 16 hours. In Jackson, about 50 trucks became stuck when icy weather prevented them from climbing the slight inclines around the city.
The terrible conditions in Jackson also stranded individuals at bus stations as trips were continuously postponed or even canceled. To provide a bit of comfort to these individuals, the Jackson Salvation Army emergency team offered food, beverages, and a sleeping bag to the people, many of whom stayed at the station for multiple days.
The Salvation Army has a long history of responding to natural disasters like hurricanes. Its immediate and effectual response to the cold weather demonstrates the organization’s adaptability and dedication to meeting people’s needs.

I help Cleveland-area business owners do two things: buy businesses worth buying, and sell businesses at prices worth celebrating. I've been working in business brokerage and M&A with Transworld Business Advisors of Cleveland Metro long enough to know that this work is about more than transactions. Selling a business you've spent 20 years building is one of the most significant events of your professional life. Buying your first business is one of the most nerve-wracking. Both deserve someone in your corner who's been through it hundreds of times. I started this blog — Community Broker News and Views — because I got tired of watching business owners get surprised by things they didn't know they didn't know. The content here is original, it's practical, and it's built for Cleveland-area owners and buyers who want straight talk without the corporate fluff. **What I Do:** - Business valuations (complimentary, no-obligation) - Seller representation: valuation, preparation, listing, and closing - Buyer representation: search, evaluation, financing, and closing - Exit planning: helping owners prepare 1–3 years before they want to sell *Vince Liuzzi | Transworld Business Advisors of Cleveland Metro* *Serving Cleveland, Akron, and Northeast Ohio*
