About the Salvation Army
"Doing The Most Good." In these four words, our mission - to feed,
to clothe, to comfort, to care. To rebuild broken homes and broken
lives. By walking with the addicted, we can lead them to recovery.
In fighting hunger and poverty, we can feed and nurture the spirit.
And, in living and sharing the Christian Gospel by meeting tangible
needs, we give the world a lasting display of the love behind our
beliefs.
The Salvation Army operates 7,546 centers in communities across
the United States. These include food distribution, disaster
relief, rehabilitation centers, anti-human trafficking efforts, and
a wealth of children's programs. Our work is funded through kettle
donations, corporate contributions, and the sale of goods donated
to our Salvation Army Family Stores. Eighty-two cents of every
dollar we spend supports our various missions acr
oss the country. We are a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, and contributions are deductible for Federal Income Tax Purposes to the extent permitted under Section 170(b)(2) for corporations.
