About The Salvation
Army
The Salvation Army, an evangelical part of the universal Christian
church established in London in 1865, has been supporting those in need in His
name without discrimination for 129 years in the United States. Nearly 30
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
