n How People & Businesses Can Help
The Salvation Army is one of the most efficient and
effective nonprofit organizations around, with $.84 of every
dollar going toward direct support of vital local programs
and services. Outright gifts such as cash, securities, real
estate, or tangible property can benefit The Salvation
Army’s programs here and now. Charitable gift annuities,
remainder trusts, bequests or life insurance policies are
also a few ways you can leave a lasting legacy for future
generations.
n Testimonials
“The Salvation Army’s after school and summer kids’
programs are such a lifesaver for my family! My oldest
daughter has been in both programs since kindergarten
(she is now getting ready to go into 4th grade). With the
after school program, I know my child will be safely picked
up from school and have a structured learning environment
(with a lot of fun added in) until I can pick her up after I get
off work. If I let the counselors know about schoolwork
my daughter struggles in, they help ensure that she works
extra hard on that subject during homework time. This has
helped my daughter improve in her school work.”
