How We Use Your Gifts

We want you to feel confident that we are making the best use of the resources you've given to The Salvation Army. We pride ourselves on minimizing costs to maintain a high-percentage of donations that directly flow into programs - 83 cents per dollar. When you designate your donation to a disaster through The Salvation Army, 100% of your gift will be used in support of those disaster relief efforts.

Our local Annual Report shows how we've been Doing the Most Good in our neighborhood. Our Divisional Annual Report shows how we've been good stewards of the resources given to us by members of the public. We hope that our actions speak even louder than these words: every gift is precious to us.
