The Salvation Army

I’ve always wondered why it’s called the salvation army. Someday I will know the story behind this.
It’s always nice to be welcomed by employees. Both of the employees I saw, greeted me when I came and wished me a good day when I left. I was acknowledged. Or they just wanted me to know they were watching so I wouldn’t steal. There’s that too. But I like the first one better.
Here’s what’s cool about this specific one. It’s big but not huge which means it’s a not a jungle! I certainly found my beloved silk piece made in India for a great price, but sadly it wasn’t my size (audience says awe) Buy and lose some pounds… or put it back slowly and enjoy a taco later?
Just want to note! I found it so easily because the place is so organized! Furniture to the right! Clothing to the left and sorted by men’s, woman’s, children’s and size! Perfect! The pricing was great too!
I will go back to this location, again and again!
PS: I put it back.

We have donated goods here for many years, perhaps thrice yearly for the past ten years. The staff has been friendly and helpful. We have not shopped here, but would be willing to give it a try.
