You’re never too young to learn.
You’re never too young to have an impact.
You’re never too young to give.
This is the perfect time of year for giving.
There are at least two ways to do it.
If you are working, part time or full, have you thought about putting aside a little money for the less fortunate?
If you are not working, have you ever thought about volunteering?
We have done the latter as one of our members volunteered at a Northern California Hospital for two years.
As we approach or are currently in the middle of a new year, during the Holiday Season, wouldn’t you agree the spirit of giving should be paramount?
As a young person, start good habits early and one of the best habits is thinking about how you personally can make the world a better place by helping others.
One organization that can really use your help is the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army an international charitable organization headquartered in London, England.
The group reports a worldwide membership of over 1.7 million, collectively known as Salvationists.
Its founders sought to bring salvation to the poor, destitute, and hungry by meeting both their “physical and spiritual needs”. It is present in 133 countries, running charity shops, operating shelters for the homeless and disaster relief, and humanitarian aid to developing countries.
The Salvation Army is one of the world’s largest providers of social aid, with expenditures including operating costs of $2.6 billion in 2004, helping more than 32 million people in the U.S. alone.
The Salvation Army is well known for its network of thrift stores or charity shops, colloquially referred to as “the Sally Ann” in Canada and the United States, “Salvos Stores” in Australia, and “Sally’s” in New Zealand, which raise money for its rehabilitation programs by selling donated used items such as clothing, housewares and toys. Clothing collected by Salvation Army stores that is not sold on location is often sold wholesale on the global second hand clothing market.
And you know what?
Now you can contribute in a time of great need.
Do you want to be remembered by someone forever? Give at a time they need you the most.
You will be.

Every donation means more this year as inflation, economic impacts lead to 8% drop in donations
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — In 2022, inflation soared to 8.3 percent, drastically affecting the ability of nearly 92 million Americans to afford the cost of living and basic needs such as rent, mortgage, utilities, gas, and food. Even more, approximately 200 million now live paycheck-to-paycheck. The escalation of costs has increased requests for assistance by 30-50 percent in many communities, compared to previous years. These needs are further enhanced during the holiday season as temperatures plummet and more people come seeking refuge and assistance to keep a roof over their head.

“Because of the overwhelming generosity of our loyal donors, corporate partners, and over 1.3 million volunteers, The Salvation Army has been able to meet the needs of the country’s most vulnerable communities, 365 days of the year,” said The Salvation Army’s National Commander, Commissioner Kenneth Hodder. “But with the multiple burdens that many individuals and families are feeling this year, we will rely on the steadfast support of our friends to help us give people in need a hand up.”
As concerns of rising inflation are expected to continue, the need for poverty assistance, natural disaster relief, and pandemic support grows stronger. With a footprint of over 7,200 locations across the country, The Salvation Army is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of local communities with tailored programs and services year-round. As the nation’s largest non-governmental direct provider of social services, The Salvation Army invites supporters to Love Beyond Christmas to ensure millions of individuals and families receive help and hope through the end of the year and onward.
The Salvation Army serves more than 25 million people annually with 2.3 million people receiving holiday assistance, alone. Across the country, The Salvation Army has provided vulnerable individuals with over 171 million meals, and assisted 4 million people with the financial assistance they need to stay in their home.
The best way to ensure your neighbors receive the help they need is to Love Beyond Christmas by continuing to support The Salvation Army throughout the year. Your donations become the resources needed to provide essential services across the country.
We invite you to love beyond this year by giving online, or by setting up a recurring monthly gift, at SalvationArmyUSA.org.

- Donate cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.
- Ask Amazon’s Alexa to donate by saying, “Alexa, donate to The Salvation Army,” and then specifying the amount.
- Call 1-800-SAL-ARMY to make a donation by phone.
