Salvation Army

Salvation army is an international organization based on Christian values. Salvation army’s mission is to serve men, women and children that are in need without discrimination. They want to serve humbly as the bible teaches us and spread love through donations and resources to those in need. The main way that salvation army has expanded their brand is through thrift stores. There are about 8,000 salvation army locations around the world. The way these store run is through generous donation. People donate their unwanted clothing, accessories, or miscellaneous items and salvation army cleans and resells them at a lower price. These stores allow lower-income families to buy clothing and resources that would otherwise be too expensive. In recent years, thrifting has become a trend among younger generations and many shop at thrift stores regardless of their financial situation. I believe that salvation army still has a redemptive impact even on the people coming to the store for a fun time with friends. You can shop at salvation army for whatever reason you want, but you will hear worship music playing in the background as you shop, and you will hopefully be greeted by smiling, welcoming workers. Salvation army shares it’s redemptive mission through the way the stores run and not just the mission itself (Which is a great mission). Salvation army has many different branches and products but they all work together for the unified goal of serving those in need and in turn, serving the Lord through humility. Salvation army states that their ministry is motivated by God and they’re ultimate goal is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ through meeting human needs without discrimination. I have personally visited quite a few salvation army’s and it is always interesting to see peoples reactions to the music playing in the background or to find another fellow Christian singing along with you.
