Salvation Army Friends League button
Pinback button <br /><br />In 1885, Methodist minister William Booth established the Christian Mission Center in East London for the city’s poor and homeless. Booth changed the name to The Salvation Army in 1878, using military terms to organize the evangelical Christian movement. By the early 20th century, the Army had an international presence, with its various “corps” providing food depots, day nurseries and missionary hospitals. <br /><br />The Richmond Corps No. 1 opened on S. Linden Street in 1885. Richmond would eventually have three corps that operated youth clubs, a men’s home and the Evangeline Booth Home and Hospital for unwed mothers. <br /><br />The Friends League of the Salvation Army was a membership drive which, in 1919, cost $1, $2 or $5 a year. The funds raised from membership subscriptions financed the activities of the Army.<br /><br />Today, The Salvation Army Central Virginia Area Command manages more than forty programs in the region, including emergency and substance abuse shelters, disaster assistance, family services, Christmas assistance, a boys and girls club, and worship centers.

Dig In! [editorial cartoon by Fred O. Seibel]
Editorial cartoon in support of the Salvation Army Home Service Fund by Fred O. Seibel, published in <em>The Knickerbocker Press</em>, May 1919. Mounted and identified as no. 741.<br /><br />This Salvation Army campaign was conducted between May 19-26, 1919 to raise money to rebuild the Salvation Army after its service in World War I, and to provide for the needs of soldiers returning from war. National Doughnut Day, celebrated the first Friday of June, honors the Salvation Army members who served soldiers in World War I. <br /><br />In 1917, over two hundred-fifty Salvation Army volunteers went overseas to France to provide supplies and baked goods, including donuts, to American soldiers. <br /><br />A woman from the Salvation Army stands behind an upturned tambourine filled with coins.<br /><br />Text: <br /><br />"Dig In! <br /><br />Veteran: "<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Believe Me</span>, If you want to come across for a worthy cause, get in on this toot sweet!" <br /><br />Moses Crow: "Ask the man who <span style="text-decoration:underline;">knows!</span>" <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><br /><br /><br /></span>
