Dynamic fundraising meter for your Red Kettle campaign.
The Salvation Army is such a wonderful charity. The number of people who have changed lives because of the selfless dedication of both the full time workers and the volunteers of this amazing organization is boggling to the mind.
Many of you may not know that the Salvation Army is indeed a Christian organization. It's founder William Booth was disheartened in the late 1860's by the cold hearted approach that most churches held toward the poor and the downtrodden. One of his mottos, "Soup, soap and salvation," tells of the practical common sense he held as a Christian leader. He knew that it was much easier to minister to a sinner's soul when they are not distracted by hunger and want. The Salvation Army also holds to the maxim, "Heart to God, hand to man." This is such an appropriate approach to life seeing that the world will know that we are Christians by our love.
The Salvation Army reaches out to so many, whether poor in body or spirit with food pantries, clothing drives, missionary outreaches, drug rehabilitation centers and the list goes on and on. Please consider giving in the above virtual bucket today. It will be one of the best investments you'll make this Christmas season.
