Why Should I Give To The Salvation Army?

The Salvation Army is one of the world's longest-standing non-profit organizations. It has a reputable name in scores of countries all over the world - 109 to be precise. The Salvation Army is not a charitable organization which will be here today, gone tomorrow. It is determined to remain in service until there is not a single human soul who has not heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ and had their needs met.

"While women weep, as they do now, I'll fight; while little children go hungry, as they do now, I'll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I'll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight - I'll fight to the very end!"
-- William Booth, Founder, The Salvation Army
