GIVING BACK! ABOUT HIV AIDS IN AFRICA |

Giving Back!
Your Thrift Stores purchases help vulnerable and orphaned children in Africa.
The Salvation Army helps children all around the world. Our home
page feature photo with a young girl and her infant sibling, are
themselves, orphaned and vulnerable children. This photo was taken in
February by one of our Salvation Army officers while visiting many
villiages in Tanzania. The HIV AIDS pendamic in Africa is showing no
signs of slowing down, and these children represent many others just
like them who have lost both parents to the disease. Seeing a young
girl under the age of 10 carrying and caring for her infant sibling is
a common image in Africa, and without the help of people like us here
in Canada, their hopes of improved health and survival is questionable
at best.
We sincerely hope that in addition to having a great shopping
experience at Salvation Army Thrift Stores, that you will keep this
image in mind, and know that your purchases help to support the many
programs that The Salvation Army has, not only in Africa, but around
the world.
God Bless you, and thank you for supporting Salvation Army Thrift Stores.
