William Booth probably never dreamt of the growth and importance of the organization he founded in 1865 London. In 1878, the group was renamed The Salvation Army and was organized along military lines. Today The Salvation Army counts over 3500 officers, 60,000 employees, 430,000 adherents, and over 3,5 million volunteers. The Army's social services to more than 30 million people a year have expanded over the years to include disaster relief services, day 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. Right now, hurricane Katrina and her disastrous consequences are the Army's immediate concern. The Salvation Army needs your donations now! The informative web site is kept current with news of the disaster and offers an on-line method for accepting you donation. You may have heard of the phrase applied to some Christians, "Too heavenly-minded to be any earthly good." With the Salvation Army, it's because they are heavenly minded that they are so earthly good--real Christianity in action. The site is informative and useful. But right now, the most important part of the site is the donation link. Give today! You can contact the Salvation Army through the form at the "Contact Us" link.
