The Salvation Army
Red kettle charity
The Salvation Army is an international Protestant Christian organization founded in 1865 that operates as both a church and a charitable service provider.
Known for its red kettles and bell-ringers collecting donations during the holiday season, it runs shelters, soup kitchens, disaster relief programs, and thrift stores.
Members wear quasi-military uniforms and use military-style ranks, reflecting the organization's name and hierarchical structure.
The Salvation Army set up an emergency shelter after the hurricane.
