Salvation Army Struggles With Increasing Demand

Salvation Army organizations in South Carolina and Illinois have responded to higher demand for services and dwindling resources by working more closely with other local agencies, Temme said.

In Elgin, Ill., where the Salvation Army ran out of food at its pantry in November, officials organized a fair in January with about two dozen other social service organizations where those in need could arrange for health care, legal assistance and other services in one stop.
