What's for Dinner? The Salvation Army
The Salvation Army started a branch in America in the 1880s after a couple of their lieutenants moved to Philadelphia. They're active in at least 132 countries where they operate homeless shelters, run charity shops and provide aid from natural disasters. According to the 2018 statistics, which were the most recent cited on Wikipedia, the Salvation Army has 111,859 employees and only 175,811 adherents.
