About Salvation Army

The Salvation Army is funded through public donations, thrift store revenue, government grants, and partnerships with community organizations. It operates under the oversight of a territorial structure divided into four U.S. territories, each managed by a territorial commander who reports to National Headquarters. Local corps officers lead individual service centers and worship communities.

Common Services

  • Adult rehabilitation centers providing residential substance abuse treatment programs
  • After-school programs, summer camps, and youth development activities
  • Senior services including meal delivery, transportation, and social programs
  • Christmas Assistance programs providing toys, food boxes, and gifts to families in need

Individuals who wish to support the Salvation Army can donate goods to local thrift stores, volunteer for meal service and disaster relief operations, or contribute financially through the organization's website or at local Red Kettle collection sites during the holiday season. Every donation directly supports local community programs.
