Description
There are overarching themes that run throughout The Salvation Army’s humanitarian efforts in the United Statesand beyond, such as relief for victims of disasters, alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs, food, and shelter. The programs and services that each country, territory, or division offers differ drastically depending on the populations they serve. For instance, programs in a third-world country might include a medical clinic or midwifery school, whereas a program in an urban region of theUnited Statesmight attempt to remedy a lack of extracurricular education for youth by starting a basketball program or a music class.
