Bells and red kettles. Thrift stores. The red shield. These are the most common images people have of The Salvation Army. But look behind the red shield and you will find that we offer a wide array of programs catering to the needs of children, families, the elderly and individuals.The Salvation Army was founded by William Booth, a Methodist minister, in London in 1865 and provides services to people in over 100 countries around the world.

In addition, new programs that address contemporary needs have been established. Among these are disaster relief services, child care centers, summer camps, holiday assistance, services for the aging, AIDS education and residential services, medical facilities, shelters for battered women and children, family and career counseling, vocational training, correction services, and substance abuse rehabilitation.
