Salvation Army urges continued donations, allowing continued aid for the needy in 2024
It is with the most heartfelt gratitude that The Salvation Army of Massachusetts thanks all those who contributed to the 2023 Red Kettle Campaign. Throughout the holidays your donations, regardless of size, contributed to aiding so many families throughout Massachusetts. The Salvation Army of Massachusetts raised more than $2 million to help families and others in need with food, clothing, housing assistance and more this holiday season.
That speaks volumes about the extraordinary generosity of spirit found across the commonwealth that has made so many lives a little bit easier.
Many families are still struggling and unable to meet the most basic needs, though. Inflation, housing costs and day-to-day challenges continue to take their toll. Salvation Army programming, funded by generous donations, provides rent and utility assistance, food and creates pathways out of poverty.
The Salvation Army of Massachusetts is committed to meeting those needs in 2024. Each of the 29 Corps community centers and more than 220 service extension units across the state strive to aid as many people as possible, and need your continued support to do so. With the generosity of your donations, 2024 could be The Salvation Army’s best year ever.
We look forward to continuing to do the most good. Most importantly, we hope you all stay safe, happy and healthy this year.

@projectcambridge:
Salvation Army helps millions of people, if they were a little homophobic in the past, they more than make up for it now. Consider their own words:
It operates “a dorm in Las Vegas exclusively for transgender individuals.”
Roughly 20 percent of the people who sleep at the Salvation Army’s Harbor Light shelter in Minneapolis are LGBTQ.
In Baltimore, the charity works with city officials “to combat trafficking among transgender individuals, a growing need there.”
Opposing their good works is about as dumb as posting that everyone should boycot chick fil a while posting on their AT&T or Verizon phone, who give millions to anti choice, anti LGBT, anti democracy candidates.
Salvation Army also gives millions to anti-choice, anti-lgbt, anti-democracy candidates so the hypocrisy of selective criticism you denounce in others is also dripping from your defense of Salvation Army.
