The Salvation Army World Services Organization, based in the U.S., has personnel en route to Haiti to coordinate the various logistics needed to get food air-lifted into Haiti. At least 285,000 meals are ready to be sent.
In addition, a team of professionals in the field of emergency disaster services will assist exhausted workers on the ground in Haiti. They will put into place an Incident Command Centre to facilitate the arrival of volunteers from other countries to assist with a first response of water, food and first aid.
Salvation Army relief personnel are also victims of the earthquake and spent the night walking the streets to offer assistance to those crying for help. Salvation Army facilities in Port-au-Prince have been heavily damaged by the quake
In the city of Port-au-Prince The Salvation Army operates a church that is a spiritual home to more than a thousand members, a children’s home for more than fifty children, a medical clinic that cares for 150-200 people daily, and a school that educates more than 1,500 children. Children from the home spent the night on the ground for fear of collapsing structures.

The Sally Ann is the only organization that I respect
Many years ago I was in jail and the Sally ANN guy was the only guy who would help us
The Priest would help the Catholics but if a Protestant guy had clothes at the dry cleaners or a room that he would not be there to pay the rent or retreive his clothes from…………….the Sally ANN guy was the only one who would take care of these things for us
We never forget these things
And when they came to the bars we always gave what we could
Do you not do these things anymore?
I know you are not in the bars anymore
We really appreciated what you did for us
I am an older retired guy now who is straightened out now
But I wonder about the young kids in jail
Are you still helping them?
A small thing like putting his clothes away til he gets out is a big thing for him
To get out of jail even if it is only for a short time and have no clothes is a bad thing
Anyways…..as I said I am straightened out and respect you guys more than any other organization
I want to give a donation for the poor folks in Haiti
