SALVATION ARMY HISTORY
INFORMATION TAKEN FROM:
In the East End of London, revivalist preacher
William Booth and his wife Catherine establish
the Christian Mission, later known as the
Salvation Army. Determined to wage war
against the evils of poverty and religious
indifference with military efficiency, Booth
modeled his Methodist sect after the British
army, labeling uniformed ministers as
"officers" and new members as "recruits."
William and Catherine Booth
The Christian Mission, in which women were
given ranks equal with men, launched

"campaigns" into London's most forsaken
neighborhoods. Soup kitchens were the first
in a long line of various projects designed to
provide physical and spiritual assistance to
the destitute. In the early years, many in
Britain were critical of the Christian Mission
and its tactics, and the members were often
subjected to fines and imprisonment as
breakers of the peace.
Amazing
In 1878, the organization was renamed the
Salvation Army, and two years later the first
U.S. branch opened in Pennsylvania.
During the Great Depression, the Salvation
Army provided food and lodging for those
in need, and during both world wars it
distinguished itself through its work with
the armed forces. By then, it had come to
be appreciated as an important
international charity organization.

Today, the Salvation Army, still based in
London, has branches in more than 75
countries. The Army operates evangelical
centers, hospitals, emergency and disaster
services, alcohol and drug rehabilitation
programs, community centers, social work
centers, secondhand stores, and recreation
facilities. Voluntary contributions and profits
from the sale of its publications fund the
organization.

National Donut Day, held annually on the first Friday of June, was established by The Salvation Army in 1938 to honor The Salvation Army’s “Donut Lassies” who served these treats to soldiers during World War I. This significant occasion established the donut as a long-standing symbol of the services The Salvation Army continues to provide.
