The Salvation Army
You’ve seen it before-The Salvation Army red kettle at Christmas. Perhaps you’ve even thrown a few coins in the bucket. And although this welcome symbol appears in your community for just a short while, its impact extends far beyond the holiday season-changing lives, one at a time, every day, all year long.
The scope of The Salvation Army’s influence is vast, touching nearly every segment of society and providing help, hope, and healing for those who come within its sphere. It is at work in more than 108 countries around the world. And although programs vary from country to country and community to community to help people most effectively, its mission is constant: to share the life-transforming gospel of Jesus Christ and meet needs without discrimination. This focus, established by its Founder William Booth in 1865, remains the guiding principle for its cutting-edge and award-winning work in contemporary life.
