Salvation Army

          Well now that I got that off my chest, its time to blog about my deed for today. I have been meaning to make a donation to the Salvation Army for a while now, so I finally did so today. I am sure that a lot of people living in the US are familiar with the organization and what they do. Most of us donate our clothes and furniture to them and put money in their donation kettles when we go grocery shopping (the individual ringing a bell for donations at almost every Giant supermarket). They are one of the most popular charitable organizations in the US and they have helped a lot of people both financially and emotionally. Apart from providing funiture and clothes to the less privileged, they offer other services that I was not aware of before.
          They have an anti pornography campaign to battle pornography because they are a christian organization. They also have a world wide service office that responds to natural disasters and international needs. They have additional programs like missing persons, recreation, community care reliefs, youth camps, adult rehabilitation,anti human trafficking, elderly services and sponsorship. They really do a lot more than just pick up our sometimes unwanted possessions and they are easily accessible. So I encourage everyone to do as much as they can to support them. There are a lot of ways to donate to the organization. United Airlines and Delta Airlines both have charity miles programs that allow you donate acquired miles to the salvation army. This has helped unite military families with their serving members and also helped salvation officers respond to the needs of those affected by natural disasters like the Haiti earthquake. They also accept automobile, furniture, clothing and household donations. Lastly they accept monetary donations and are in need of volunteers. So please donate and do the much you can to ensure that they help as many people as they can. Spread the love!!!!
