Chapter 2 - Salvation Army





 
 

The salvation army is one of the largest christian organizations in the world, and operates in over a hundred countries.  Even though the salvation army is known for selling used clothing, they also serve veterans and the elderly, perform disaster and hunger relief, and even help with missing and trafficked people.  The salvation army is one of the most active charities worldwide, and is effective because of the number of people it helps, religious or non-religious.
 

The salvation army was founded in 1850 in London.  One of the reasons the salvation army is so unique is that it is structure like a military organization.  In addition, the salvation army attracts huge corporate backers like Walmart, Target, UPS, and Sprint.  Last year, the salvation army served over 25 million people, and raised nearly three billion dollars in the united states.
