The Best Organization in the U.S.


This is a good time of year to stop and recognize the Salvation Army.
3.5 million registered volunteers.
From bell ringing to helping with the community, these people make a difference. And you still can too. :)
Yet, as more and more retail chains begin to ban that familiar sound from their storefronts, it's important that we don't let our spirit of giving slip away, simply because they aren't as visible. Out of sight, out of mind. That's one of our greatest weaknesses, isn't it?
While Target recently banned the bell ringers, take note, they also announced, under rising pressure I'm sure, an online partnership, as another way of giving. Just follow the link if you still want to give.
If you'd rather give direct, click here. $.83 of every dollar donated goes to direct services funding.
