What do the salvation army do with their money?

Answer 1

The Salvation Army in partnership with FM 98 WJLB collected $77,828 in cash used in the metro Detroit area and no administration costs are deducted from it

Answer 2

If you look at what they do in your community, you may get a better answer. The amount of money that the Salvation Army takes in from its clothing stores and donations, and the fact that most of their workers are volunteer, does not add up when considering the feeble attempt at helping anyone but themselves. There are no reports to hold The Salvation Army accountable to what their mission statements say they are and do, and in these times of security uncertainty and large scale fraud, this should not be overlooked.

From the Salvation Army's UK website...

As a church and registered charity, we demonstrate our Christian principles through social welfare provision. Worldwide there are over 1.6million members, with programmes including homeless centres, drug rehabilitation centres, schools, hospitals and medical centres, as well as nearly 16,000 church and community centres. The work of The Salvation Army is funded through donations from its members, the general public and, where appropriate, local authority and government grants.

Local Salvation Army church and community centres offer a range of activities and services within their local communities. People can become involved in all sorts of ways, through volunteering with fundraising initiatives, attending church services and helping with local activities.

The Salvation Army also supports the work of the emergency services by providing refreshments, shelter and counselling at major incidents. Recently this has included the 7th July London bombings, the devastating hurricanes in Southern USA, and the severe floods in Carlisle and Boscastle.

Answer 3

They give the money to people who need it most. It goes to their bank in the church and then they use the money to get supplies to give to the homeless and the people who really need it!
