Week 3 EOC: Making Money For Good (The Salvation Army)

A good partnership is The Salvation Army collaborating with retail store Target. Many Target locations are helping needy children with supplies, backpacks and clothing to be prepared for school. This helps sales for Target and brings more new shoppers who are interested in their items. The Salvation Army is also a disaster relief program in times of hurricanes, tsunamis, floods, etc. Volunteers are hired every event or in time of need and also accept all kinds of donations and have fundraisers. They service food, take care of homeless, trafficking hunger, having thrift stores and many more. Salvation Army provides Youth Camps where thousands of low-income families enjoy the fresh air, exercise and meet new people. The children are trained by counselors with self-reliant and develop new skills, such as swimming, arts and crafts, music, adventures and scouting camping and many more. We also notice the red buckets with the sound of a bell every winter during Christmas season. Donations are to help have Christmas dinners to families, clothing and toys for children.  All in all, The Salvation Army is a great service providing for every family in need no matter what situation may be.
