The Salvation Army runs a Christian charity. They bring aid and help to those in need, whether this be due to poverty, unemployment or other issues. They bring help and hope. They are there to help in times of crisis. The Salvation Army has people in many, many nations around the world, and because of this, their people can help when natural or manmade disasters hit, even though it takes days or even weeks for other agencies to get in.

For example, when the cyclone hit Myanmar, being a closed country, no international aid could get in for some time. But because the Salvation Army had its own citizens within that country, they were able to get aid to the victims immediately.

When the devastating bushfires hit Victoria, the Salvation Army was the first organisation in there, helping the victims in practical ways immediately, providing shelter and basic necessities. Their fundraising provided financial aid immediately, whereas the victims need to wait weeks and even months for the funds from the Red Cross. Similarly, when the earthquakes hit Japan and Christchurch in New Zealand, the Salvation Army was there from the start. They sent in teams from other countries, working tirelessly around the clock, Behind the Scenes, to distribute money and goods to the most needy and all those who had lost possessions.

N.B. - The answerer of this question is not affiliated with the Salvation Army in any way, but is merely writing straightforward truths and statistics.
