We will learn lessons from the pandemic and work to improve our services to youth, adults, seniors, the homeless, the hungry and those impacted by disasters. We will find creative ways to fund our work, be good stewards of those funds and give our donors more reasons to be confident in supporting our work and mission. We will also look to the future and develop strategic plans to keep pace with our everchanging community. How People and Businesses Can Help The Salvation Army is one of the most efficient and effective nonprofit organizations around, with $.82 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. Chari- table gift annuities, remainder trusts, bequests or life insurance policies are also a few ways you can leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
