Founded in 1865, The Salvation Army is an international Christian organization committed to "doing the most good" for people in need. With a presence in over 130 countries worldwide, we strive to meet human needs without discrimination, standing as a testament to unconditional love, and compassion for all. Our roots trace back to London, where our founders, William and Catherine Booth, began their journey to combat poverty and social injustice. Today, we continue their mission, embracing every opportunity to make a transformative difference in the lives of individuals and communities. Our work is diverse as it is vast. Our key services include emergency disaster response, food assistance, housing and homelessness services, rehabilitation services, family and personal support, youth programs, elderly services, spiritual support, and much more. We operate thrift stores globally, with proceeds supporting our various programs and services, contributing to the sustainability of our mission. Through these initiatives, we help people overcome a wide range of challenges - from immediate crises like homelessness and hunger, to long-term struggles like addiction and unemployment. We are steadfast in our commitment to empowering people to break the cycle of poverty and achieve self-sufficiency. At The Salvation Army, we believe in the transformative power of compassion and practical help. This ethos fuels our mission, inspiring us to effect positive change, one life at a time. We are more than just an organization; we are a global movement of hope and transformation. Driven by our Christian faith, we work towards creating a world where everyone has the resources and opportunities they need to flourish. We respect and value all people, believing that everyone has the potential to change and grow. We invite you to join us in our mission - whether through volunteering, donating, or shopping at our thrift stores. Together, we can create a significant impact, offering hope where it's needed most. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. Together, we are The Salvation Army – “Doing the Most Good”.
