Salvation Army

It wasn’t until today that I really understood the structure of The Salvation Army. And although I’m not ready to take any quizzes, I do know that I have always admired the work they do and have been lucky enough to help out from time to time.
Officially it’s a denomination – I’m told it’s in the Methodist vein – but that it holds a military-​like organization so you have officer titles and the like. What I am most familiar with is the work they do to serve and alleviate suffering throughout the 100+ nations in which they have a presence. They’re certainly doing that in SLC.
We may be familiar with the thrift shops, and with the kettles around the holidays, but they’re also working with youth, homeless, and jobless, and those who are less fortunate.
This location is their chapel and some offices. It’s not lavish and it’s not opulent, but it is nice, tidy, and in good repair. I had the chance to walk around a bit today and saw the chapel, library and gymnasium. I’ve not been for services.
I spoke with their volunteer coordinator and there are certainly opportunities to serve. You can ring bells at the kettles, serve food, take Thanksgiving meals to shut-​ins, and many other opportunities that are available year-​round.
