The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army get three photos in this string of posts. They were on hand today with free water for everyone and their humility and service to the community with a kind smile really has to be commended. During my travels in Australia and New Zealand Salvos and Vinnies (St. Vincent de Paul’s) have really shone out with their work in the community and recycling of mainly clothes in their charity shops…I’ve picked up some real bargains as I travel along and will continue to support their great cause as they support the community around them!
