Americans commenting in this game really need to stop trying to "correct" British spelling. They've been doing it longer and more countries spell it their way than ours.

I made glass for Ford Motor Company in the glass division for 21 years, was a class A machinist for DW Industries for 7 years and I worked for the Salvation Army as a Social Service Worker for 6 years. In that order. I have to say that the most gratifying and rewarding time in my life was when I was working to help others who weren't as fortunate as I at the Salvation Army! Thank you Jesus for the wonderful life!!

They are truly non-profit as compared to other so called charitable institutions. All of our donations go to them.

MagicalEagle25507, there is a S.A. mission on the edge of my neighborhood; it has after school and summer camps for kids, and when we lost power due to hurricane, they were the first to pass out meals to one and all

Player Elf Counsel, My grandparents were Salvation Army officer missionaries in Peking ( now Beijing) China from 1921-1927. My mom was a new baby when they left Canada for China and her younger sister was born in Peking. All my aunts and uncles on mom’s side of the family were officers in SA. A rich history for sure!

The Salvation Army is apparently trying to move away from its anti-gay stance which attracted a lot of criticism in the past.

Player nawa, That’s why I never donate to the Red Cross. Apparently they have nothing that’s really “free”.

Never forget the time that the Salvation Army refused to let a trans woman, who was a Marine veteran, have shelter because she was trans. She died on the steps of the Capitol in Austin. #JusticeforJennifer

maggiemylove, translations of the Bible may not be what you like, but it's not "outdated". That's a ridiculous concept.
