ABOUT THE SALVATION ARMY CANADA AND BERMUDA TERRITORY
The Salvation Army is an international Christian organization that began its work in Canada in 1882 and has grown to become one of the largest non-governmental direct providers of social services in the country. The Salvation Army gives hope and support to vulnerable people today and every day in 400 communities across Canada and more than 130 countries around the world.
The Salvation Army offers practical assistance for children and families, often tending to the basic necessities of life, provides shelter for homeless people and rehabilitation for people who have lost control of their lives to an addiction.
As the largest non-governmental direct provider of social services in Canada, The Salvation Army provides unprecedented support to the society’s most vulnerable.
Social and community service programs focus on nurturing the capacities, skills and strengths of individuals rather than just meeting their needs.
With the public’s generosity, in 2023 in Canada:
Mission Statement:
The Salvation Army exists to share the love of Jesus Christ, meet human needs and be a transforming influence in the communities of our world.
Our Vision:
We are an innovative partner. Mobilized to share hope wherever there is hardship. Building communities that are just and know the love of Jesus.
Our Values:
Values are who we are and what we continually strive for. They guide all aspects of The Salvation Army in Canada and Bermuda.
Our social service activities include (but are not limited to):
With 95 thrift stores, 113 donor welcome centres and 11 distribution and recycling centres, The Salvation Army operates one of Canada’s largest national clothing recycling operations. Although proceeds from the sale of goods help fund our many social programs, the Army also provides items free of charge to individuals or families who have been referred by our social service programs and other agencies.
Thanks to the generosity of donors in Canada who have given specifically to our international work, the International Development Department is able to support education, health care, water and sanitation, and livelihood development projects that are helping families and communities abroad work towards self-sufficiency.
As a religious denomination, The Salvation Army has close to 300 community churches (corps) in Canada and Bermuda. These churches not only focus on worship, Christian education and other congregational activities but are also involved in providing practical assistance to their communities. The Salvation Army is diligent in its stewardship of donations so that funds solicited in its public appeals are used to fund community and social service programs and activities, rather than church ministries unless the donor designates otherwise.
