…The Salvation Army, created in England in the 1850s to take "the gospel of Jesus Christ directly to the people," is emphasizing its mission of serving those most vulnerable through this year's "Love Beyond" messaging. Love Beyond is a symbol of the resources and programs that 25 million people rely on year-round. "More than 2 million people rely on The Salvation Army during the holiday season alone, but the truth is our communities need help year-round," Hodder said in a statement. "Financial support on Giving Tuesday is critical to providing love beyond the holidays to millions in need whether through emergency disaster services, housing, feeding, or youth support." The Salvation Army started "Giving Tuesday" 10 years ago as a day to encourage people to do good. It now inspires hundreds of millions of people globally to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity each year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. "Expenses to shelter and feed the most vulnerable have dramatically increased due to inflation and supply chain issues. Food prices have seen their highest increase since 1979. Requests for help are growing across the country with many Salvation Army locations seeing an increase from 30%-50%. That's why Giving Tuesday matters," Hodder said… …The Salvation Army USA's mission statement says the parent organization "is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination."

America is a better nation because of the work of them and like minded organizations that ease human suffering here and now while still proclaiming the good news
Salvation Army is one of the few places where you can donate money and the vast majority of the money you donate actually goes to help people....unlike organizations like Red Cross.
I worked for the salvation army for over a year, in many capacities... I cannot find any ill words to speak against them. They help those in need. No matter what your politics or religion might be
