The Salvation Army’s earliest relief work dates back to 1866. A cholera outbreak took its toll on London’s East End population. Against a backdrop of poverty and unemployment, the effects were devastating. In response, The Salvation Army distributed food and clothing. From this point onwards, The Salvation Army has aided those affected by natural disasters, wars and emergencies all over the world.
