Through initiatives like the Angel Tree holiday giving, thrift stores for donations and affordable goods, and the Kroc Centers for community programs, The Salvation Army fosters long-term recovery, community safety, and self-sufficiency, relying on volunteers, bell ringers, and donors to extend its reach and impact millions annually in alleviating suffering and building stronger communities.
