Salvation Army

Thesis Statement: The Salvation Army is a Christian church and an international charitable organization that helps millions by helping the poor and providing disaster relief as well as humanitarian aid to developing countries.

All three of these organizations are here to help people in need, no matter what. They do this by supporting disasters, finding shelter, giving people food when they can't afford food. United Way, Red Cross, The Salvation Army are taking their time to support others in need. By getting motivated by the power of Go they can do anything. Read on to find more and more about these helping organizations. These organizations are here to help everyone no matter what race, size, sex, they help all.

There are other agencies that are funded purely on donations alone. The Salvation Army is one of these agencies, and it offers assistance to the society in dire need in ways such as housing, health, providing support, clothing, food etc. (The Salvation Army 2009)

For this proposal, I interviewed the Surrey Salvation Army Thrift Store manager, Narmada Indrasiri. My goal was to discover whether the store raises enough money to help its rehabilitation program through donations. My interview consisted of questions such as (1) Do you get enough donations to fulfil store target? (2) Approximately how many donations you get per day? (3) Are all the donations in good condition to resell? (4) if not, what are the difficulties you have been facing? (5) How much money spend on the garbage pickup truck?

In conclusion to this paper, Salvation Army is a strong standing company that focuses on giving to those in need. The company has been growing for many years and has made a strong impact on every community that it touches. The company houses officers, employees, and volunteers that spend numerous hours taking care of the ones that need help the most. The company which started with just a husband and wife is now all over the world and continues to promote a strong Christian faith. The company is doing everything they ethically and morally can to help everyone. There is always going to be an issue somewhere, no one is perfect. The company is the next thing to being our savior. Salvation Army is the one who is trying to fix the broken through

The Samaritan’s Purse is a “nondenominational evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world...” (Samaritan’s). Not only does this charity provide aid to the destitute people of pagan countries, but it also provides the love and nurture of Christ Jesus to the lost souls of the world. For this reason, the Samaritan’s Purse is favored among Christians around the globe, although the Christian faith is not a requirement to donate to the cause of one’s choice. There are over twenty ministry projects one can donate to or even volunteer to be part of, including the following: Operation Christmas Child, The Greatest Journey, US Disaster Relief, and Children’s Ministries. Imagine

One of the many charity organizations that attempted to make a difference- the Salvation Army..had made their day view when the unemployment rate had reached 25 percent: “The Salvation Army used 10 years of mass anguish to demonstrate Christ’s love and provide in abundance.”(salvationarmynorth, page 10). The committed charity group had took it upon themselves to deliver gift baskets to 1500 families in peril on christmas eve. Though this organization had been proving to be successful in providing many people with relief from this financial crisis, there were many cases in which the people had given negative responses; “The Salvation Army’s primary function was to spread the gospel through loud open-air meetings...Many Salvation Army officers had to dodge rotten vegetables...by onlookers who didn’t appreciate hearing the message of Jesus Christ.”(salvationarmynorth, page 10). This is just one of the many independant charity groups which attempted to bring some form of

The American Red Cross (2010) website tells of an organization guided by the principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, and voluntary service whose mission is to, “provide relief to victims of disaster and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies” (Mission statement, para. 1). It claims a history of founding in 1881 in Washington D.C. by Clara Barton. Still operating today, 129 years later, is evidence of its success as an organization. It has endured despite the fact that the very nature of

I’ve chosen Vader’s Fist: 501st Legion as my non-profit organization. The 501st Legion is a worldwide costuming organization that helps charity’s raise money through Star Wars cosplay. I’ve been a member for 5 years now and a member of the Florida Garrison charity team for 4 of those years. Members pay no dues and are only required troop one event a year to stay active in the system. In 2014, the Florida Garrison (aka Florida area) alone has helped raise over $12 million dollars for charities in our local community. In 2014, we also helped raise over $30,000 that was a direct result to membership doing anything from donating toys or money to charitable causes.

Membership in Christian Health Care Sharing systems have flourished over the past few years with a proven track record of helping countless families. Samaritan Ministries is a successful health care alternative and exempt from fines associated with mandatory Affordable Care Act. It is also viable solution for those whose employers do not offer medical benefits or for people who simply cannot afford to purchase plans directly from insurance companies. Unlike other CHC systems that require members to seek payment for health services from government or charitable organizations before they request assistance, Samaritan Ministries does not. It is a Biblical way of handling health expenses because it all members are held to the same standards and

ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE: THE SALVATION ARMY The Salvation Army’s ethical and moral responsibility to the community stems back in history from its framework to the organization. “William Booth embarked on his ministerial profession in 1852, desiring to win the disoriented multitudes of England to Christ. He walked

Imagine walking by your favorite department store, you hear the familiar sound of a bell ringing. With the sound becoming louder, you can now see the famous red bucket and someone there to greet you with an enormous smile and a holiday cheer. The people of the Salvation Army aren’t there just around the holidays; they are actively collecting all year round. One of the oldest and most recognized charities also has the highest efficiencies. They reach millions of people all over the world. A monumental organization is characterized by providing for those in need, motivation to identify and eliminate the cause of that need and to bring the community closer.

Appreciation for the human service sector largely depends upon the moral standard in which its conglomerates uphold. Such organizations seek to maintain their level of “legitimacy” by adapting to successful strategies; thus appealing to the grace of its audience (Hasenfeld, 2010, p. 14). Hasenfeld (2010) states “their growth and survival depend less on the technical proficiency of their work and more on their conformity with dominant cultural symbols and belief systems, that is, institutional rules” (pg 14-15). Suggesting that the models used, and the shifting that takes place within the human service organizations, are based upon the ideologies accepted in that time or season.

The key success factors we discovered the Salvation Army must maintain its wholesome and non-discriminatory brand and image. The Salvation Army stands firm in its beliefs of "to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in his name without discrimination" We believe this is the key to making the Salvation Army's stakeholders such as their donors feel as though their commitments to this organization are true to what their mission and vision is. The Salvation Army must continue to incorporate their non-discriminatory beliefs into their organization to attract other stakeholders. Another key success factor we have discovered is the Salvation Army's annual fundraisers such as the "Red Kettle Campaign" and "Angel Trees. These are

The Salvation Army is an international movement, an evangelical part of the universal Christian church. It is dedicated to the propagation of the Christian faith and to the furnishing of various forms of assistance to persons in need of spiritual solace and material aid. The Salvation Army was founded in 1865 in London by the English Methodist minister William Booth. It was originally founded as the Christian Mission, with the aim of carrying on evangelical and social-welfare work among the inhabitants of the slum areas of London. The Salvation Army was originally called the Christian Revival Association. It was renamed the East London Christian Mission in 1870 and from 1878 has been known as the Salvation Army (The
