The Salvation Army Annual Report 2013
“He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart.”
This verse from the Book of Isaiah is the foundation for The Salvation Army’s 2013 Online Annual Report’s theme, “Open Arms”, now available here. Commissioner David Jeffery, The Salvation Army’s National Commander, had this verse come to mind saying, “It’s a sweet image, a beautiful reminder of the Lord’s gentleness in caring for the vulnerable”.
The Salvation Army strives to follow the Lord’s example of caring and opening our arms and our hearts to anyone in need. And we’re proud to report that, guided by God’s love and your compassion and support, The Salvation Army served 30 million Americans in 2013!
Throughout this last year and with the help of 3.5 million volunteers, The Salvation Army:
- Served nearly 60 million meals to the hungry
- Provided over 10 million nights of lodging to the homeless
- Sent almost 200,000 low income and disadvantaged kids to summer camp
- Counseled 180,000 men and women with drug and alcohol rehabilitation
Also featured in the annual report is an inspiring video of The Salvation Army’ s Angel Tree Program which helps provide nearly 1 million disadvantaged children across the United States.
As it truly takes an army, our services would not be possible without your help and support and we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for furthering our mission to Do The Most Good!
The Salvation Army is here for you. We welcome all with open doors, open hearts, and open arms.
