Will the Salvation Army Help Me Pay Rent?
August 25th, 2009Is it true that the Salvation Army will pay your rent if you are unable to (only once) ?
A person at work told me that if you are unable to pay your rent then the Salvation Army will help you by paying it but only once? I don’t know if this is true or not. I know the Salvation Army accepts donations and sells it at their thrift stores, they’re just like Goodwill Stores. I’ve looked at the Salvation Army website and no where does it say that they will cover a month’s rent if you are unable to. Does anyone know if this is true?

August 17th, 2009If I donate to the Salvation Army can I claim that on my taxes?
I heard that if I donate to the Salvation army, which I do on a monthly basis, I can claim it on my taxes. But do I need to actually go in the store to get a reciept or something because I usually just drop it off at the drop off centers and never actually go into the store.

August 8th, 2009Hi, I have already sent in an application to volunteer with the Salvation Army in my city this summer, but was hoping to get a better idea of what I may possibly be assigned to do. It will be my first time volunteering with them, but I have heard great things.
Has anyone volunteered with the Salvation Army before? If so, what positions do they have? For example, can I work inside the store, sort through donations, etc.
I would appreciate any answers.
Thank you.

August 5th, 2009We need a second car for both my husband and I to drop our kids off at daycare and go to work. We figured out our bills and can only afford the insurance on another car, not another car payment. I have heard that people donate their cars to the Salvation Army and was wondering who they sell them to and what I need to do to buy one. Or if anyone in the Lansing MI area that has a cheap, good running one for sale, I would be willing to look at it.

The Most Effective Organization in the U.S.: Leadership Secrets of the Salvation Army
Most of us know the Salvation Army from its fundraising efforts and philanthropic programs, but the $2 billion-a-year transcontinental institution, now serving more than 30 million people with a vastly underpaid and overworked staff, is also a model business structure. Under a title taken from the description applied to it by management guru Peter Drucker, The Most Effective Organization in the U.S. outlines the fundamental tenets that the group has prospered under since its founding in the mid- to late 1800s. Written by former National Commander Robert A. Watson and freelancer Ben Brown, the book details eight principles that allow the Army to do so much with so little: focus on “a purpose that transcends quarterly earnings”; make “what you do serve human needs”; stay publicly accountable to visible standards; encourage feedback and act upon it; “invest real power and real responsibility” in top personnel; “accept the inevitability of change”; take calculated risks; and motivate employees by ensuring their jobs are both valuable and enjoyable. Some readers may not be comfortable with the organization’s overt ties to Christian teachings, but few can argue with the success it consistently enjoys. –Howard Rothman
From Publishers Weekly
A clear mission, innovative techniques, commitment, efficiency and visible outcomes are the name of the business game, and also happen to be exemplified by the Salvation Army. In “The Most Effective Organization in the U.S.”: Leadership Secrets of the Salvation Army, Robert A. Watson, an officer in the Salvation Army for 44 years, and freelance writer Ben Brown mine the organizational riches of this familiar group and present them as a model for others in the nonprofit and for-profit worlds. Watson, who as a child was clothed, fed and kept busy by the Salvation Army, reveals the skills and principles he learned as an officer of a company that completes projects from top to bottom from conceiving an idea and building a site to designing the financial plan and hiring, training and inspiring employees. The organization famous for its big heart also has plenty of sense. Proceeds go to the Salvation Army.
