the religious umbrella, which has been receiving faith, based governmental funding. The

increase the way of living of the people. The way of a collection of the fund is through red
buckets for basic needs such as food and clothing that are provided to the poor. The Salvation
Army mostly volunteers people with the help of the army. Interested people can volunteer for

ways that help in the increase in the interest of the people towards the organization. The
