AP reported last week that Salvation Army workers out of Atlanta will be using texts to help them raise money this year.

I rarely carry cash and always have my cell phone attached to my hand.  If you’re like me, the new system will be a great way to contribute.

Starting Nov. 14, you can text “TSA” (the salvation army) to 90999 and a $5 charge will be added to your cell phone bill. 

Donations go to basic neccessities, clothing, food and toys to families in need.  This is a quick and easy way to donate a little bit of money to those in need. 

You can also donate frequent flyer miles or start your own Kettle Campaign at www.salvationarmyusa.org.
