About
The Salvation Army:
The
Salvation Army, an evangelical part of the universal Christian church,
has been supporting those in need in His name without discrimination
since 1865. Nearly 33 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. Nationally, approximately 84 cents of every
dollar raised is used to support those services in nearly 9,000
communities nationwide. For more information, go to www.SAmilwaukee.org.
