Salvation Army Community Analysis

One thing most Luckyday scholars have in common is our desire for bettering the community though our volunteer efforts. Groups were assigned different organizations to work with to help put what we are learning about servant leadership to action. My group has been assigned the Salvation Army as the location of our volunteer work. My group struggled with finding a time where everyone would be able to attend. Due to conflicting schedules we were not able to go until the first day of fall break. We also faced other challenges with not being able to contact the Salvation Army. Finally everything fell into place so that we were all able to participate. Even though it took a while for everything to work it was well worth the wait. One thing I believe …show more content…

What they needed assistance with was organizing and getting things ready to be brought into the store. We were separated so that we could each focus on a different area. Organizing and determining which books to throw out was what I had been assigned to help with. Being that I have a strong love of books, I was ecstatic to spend my time assisting. We were all placed in areas that we were able to truly make an impact of their workload for the day. I believe we worked well as a group even though we were not working directly with each other. This helped me understand as to how a group effort can involve more than one set of people. While we were Luckyday volunteers they included us into their group of everyday workers. The work was completed by the entire team. Not one person received more credit that the other. It could not have been completed without the entire until of people. The Salvation Army is full of people who exemplify characteristics of a servant leader. They are dedicated to furthering the growth of the community. With the work that is being completed, they are providing necessities to those who otherwise may not find affordable. They are giving them the tools and resources needed to

my is based on the community and the individual. He says "people participate in the social economy-not to be non-profit or non-state per se, but to actually make a difference in their own lives and in the lives of other, to build community of one sort or another" (J.J. McMurtry, Pg 30). The Salvation Army food banks are predominantly made to focus its attention on communities. Therefore, they are using their resources to help better the social issues on a macroscopic scale; that being said they are there to help the communities that need it most. In addition, they are "working to ensure the protection, survival, and healthy development of children by advocating a high priority for them in the allocation of resources at all times, the Salvation

The Salvation Army organization began in England, in1865, by William and Catherine Booth (The Salvation Army). Before the start of the Salvation Army William Booth walked the streets of London, England preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to the poor, hungry, homeless and less fortunate. (Walker, 2001) The formation of the Salvation Army began due to the church leaders having disagreements with Booth by not participating in the traditional methods of the conventional concepts of the church (Walker, 2001). The Salvation Army began with Booth and his wife holding series of evangelistic meetings and services in set up tents.

I volunteered at my local chapter for my senior year of high school. I got to work with the phenomenal staff at the chapter. I had the pleasure of meeting families who were very strong. This organization has a very favorable standing from my point of view. This is probably one of the best charities in the U.S. and around the world due to their timeless efforts to support families in need.

According to the Encyclopedia of Religion, the Salvation Army has “changed a number of lives of those who were homeless” and the homeless people that have no jobs transfer to the people who have jobs now and have a stable future ahead of them (McKinley). The Salvation Army can change a person’s way of life and the person who has gone through this rough patch of their life, can enjoy what life was really meant for once again, to be happy and joyous. If one person can change one person’s life forever, think about how many more lives can be positively affected if everyone else in America donated money to the Salvation Army. According to the organization of the Salvation Army, there is a new project they have started up to help the homeless, which is called “Project Hope. Project Hope stands for Homeless Outreach to Place and Empower and this project has helped hundreds of people every year”

The Salvation Army also sends out pamphlets that if you "make a gift” to their organization you will get tax savings, for example, it says that, “if you give a gift of $5,000, you will get an income tax reduction of $2,309 plus a North Dakota (if you live in North Dakota, its different in other places) tax credit of $924. Then, at 6%, the payment you receive are $300 with a tax-free amount of $236. After receiving your income for life, your remaining gift of the $5000 goes to help those in need. It just sounds strange to me, to give a donation and then get money back, because to me, giving a donation means you don’t expect to get anything back, you do it because it’s the kind thing to do, not to get benefits.

But we always met deadlines because we enjoyed the whole process. Usually people dread group work due to bad experiences with it. I however had a good experience with working in groups while in Yearbook. We each put in equal effort and for the most part shared the same responsibilities. This was uniquely satisfying to me- that after we created something for people to look at and cherish they gained a sense of what we felt.

Going into the first experience at the Salvation Army, I had the expectations of the students being fairly well behaved and the facility not being very good or clean. However, it was basically the opposite of what I thought. The students were good for the most part, but at times I found it somewhat difficult just to keep the 5 or 6 that were at my table quiet and sitting still for a couple minutes. I was very impressed with the Salvation Army and I loved how there was that time of separation for K-2 and 3-5 to do homework and receive help. I feel like the students were offered a pretty large amount of freedom by being able to pick their tables and make their own snack.
