Salvation Army
Uniformed thrift organization
The Salvation Army is a Protestant Christian organization combining evangelical ministry with charitable services.
Founded in 19th-century England, it operates shelters, food banks, and disaster relief programs worldwide.
Members wear military-style uniforms and use military ranks; the familiar red kettles and bell-ringers collect donations during the holiday season.
