To all photographers:
The Salvation Army 2008 Photo Contest –
May 6th – June 9th – Enter Today!
Purpose
To build and maintain an active library of photos from across the country that will be made available on the Red Shield Tool Kit as a resource for all local Salvation Army units.
We are looking for images from your local unit that tell a story about the many ways The Salvation Army helps people every day. Particular areas of interest include disaster relief, youth services, summer camp, adult rehabilitation, housing, evangelism, homeless outreach, music programs, angel tree, and utility assistance.
