In terms of making younger people aware of what we do, we host "Rock the Red Kettle" and partner with the entertainment show "Extra" to host an evening concern at Universal Studios in LA and at the Grove shopping center (I think that is the name of …show more content…

It wasn't until 1882 that the Salvation Army began its work. From the beginning, the Army in Canada adopted William Booth's philosophy that there is little point preaching “salvation” to hungry people. And so the concept of “soup and salvation” tool hold, later to be developed into the comprehensive social service programs The Salvation Army operates today, many of them in partnership with government. When the Army came to Canada, there was a lot of opposition to its methods from civic politicians.

In 1908 salvage work -now called recycling- began in…
