The Salvation Army stands for hope; that when every light is extinguished, and every other star has gone down, this one gleam shines steadily and clearly out in the darkened sky: "If I could only get to The Salvation Army, they will do something for me. - William Booth

"For over a century The Salvation Army has been a beacon of faith and caring throughout the world." - Laura Bush

"The Salvation Army embodies compassion and Christian love in feeding the hungry, caring for the homeless, and attending to the afflicted and the downtrodden."
