2010 National Annual Report
This year, all across the country, the need has been staggering, both in numbers of people and in the depth of the need itself. Local Corps units have reported, in some cases, a demand for social services more than 400 percent above normal.
Armed with a promise to do the most good, and bearing a spirit of optimism and passionate commitment, the Army is changing millions of lives for the better. Every day. They are not waiting for the recovery. They are the recovery in action. And thanks to generous donors who give even when giving is difficult, The Salvation Army is as relevant today as it has ever been in its history.
That relevance extends to The Salvation Army’s place in this modern world. For the second year, we are publishing our annual report online, diminishing costs and delivering a more dynamic result that can reach more people. In addition, our Online Red Kettles, tools like Twitter and Facebook, and support from popular bands such as Daughtry, Honor Society, and the Jonas Brothers ensure that The Salvation Army is communicating with the next generation of donors and soldiers.
