INTRODUCTIONIn the world we live in life is not always kind, reasonable, just, or easy. Circumstances and nature challenge the definition of “Humanity”. What will be our legacy? How will we define our “Humanity”?In this presentation we will explore the diversity of efforts by The Salvation Army. By focusing on who and their circumstances we will see how this organization looks to define “Humanity”.

communities, families, and individuals respond and recover as quickly as possible from disasters and to implement integrated, community-led programs that increase their capability to recover and be prepared if and when catastrophic events occur in the future.

Those convicted of minor offenses often are given the opportunity to accept placement in community service programs at corps community centers and institutions as an alternative to incarceration, or in the last months of their sentences.
