Largest Non-governmental Provider of Social Service in Canada Hosts Open House Events at Facilities Nationwide

TORONTO, May 18 /CNW/ -

    
    WHO:               Salvation Army leaders and the general public,
                       including local politicians, civic groups and
                       community leaders

    WHAT:              On Wednesday, May 19th The Salvation Army will host a
                       national open house, giving the media and public an
                       opportunity to tour facilities and see, first-hand,
                       the services provided to more than 1.5 million
                       Canadians each year.

    BACKGROUND:        The National Open House is The Salvation Army's
                       largest one-day event, culminating a month-long
                       fundraising campaign - the National Red Shield
                       Campaign that seeks to educate the public about the
                       cycle of poverty in Canada and raise funds to help
                       combat the problem.

                       The open house events follow the release of a new
                       Salvation Army report detailing the public's
                       perception on homelessness and poverty. More
                       information about both the May Red Shield report and
                       open house events can be found online at
                       www.SalvationArmy.ca.
