Never forgetting those less fortunate
The Bulldog has its paws firmly planted in our local community. Growing up in the Amsterdam Red Light District, Henk saw how crime, poverty and drug addiction affected the lives of many. To this day, he never forgot where he came from. Influenced by the Salvation Army’s legendary Major Bosshardt, Henk started The Bulldog Foundation to reach out to those in need with food and care. We participate in many different projects, in which our staff members often take an active part!
OUR PROJECTS
Cooking Night December 2024
This month, we had the privilege of preparing another three-course meal for 40 women of the Salvation Army. This monthly initiative, run by volunteers from The Bulldog, continues to bring warmth and connection to the community.
Christmas Dinner 2024
Each year, just days before Christmas, the Koepelkerk in Amsterdam opens its doors to Salvation Army clients for a special celebration. Dressed in their finest attire, guests come together to enjoy a sumptuous three-course dinner. This beloved tradition fosters a warm, festive ambiance and a strong sense of togetherness.
Pampering Days November 2024
The Salvation Army recently organized a week-long holiday retreat at a beautiful resort in Lunteren, dedicated to those in need of extra care and support. This meaningful week was made possible through the help of passionate volunteers, including a few of us from The Bulldog team. The retreat was packed with enjoyable activities and provided a much-needed break for everyone involved.
