About The Salvation Army
The Salvation Army, an
evangelical part of the universal Christian church established in 1865, has
been supporting those in need in His name without discrimination for 128 years
in the United States. Nearly 29 million Americans receive assistance from The
Salvation Army each year through the broadest array of social services that
range from providing food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims,
assistance for the disabled, outreach to the elderly and ill, clothing and
shelter to the homeless and opportunities for underprivileged children. About
83 cents of every dollar raised is used to support those services in 5,000
communities nationwide. For more information, go to
