ALEXANDRIA, Va. (May 4, 2021) — The Salvation Army World Service Office (SAWSO) is sending $1.1 million to help combat the deadly surge of COVID-19 in India.

Hodder, national commander for The Salvation Army. "We simply could not look on without action while the people of India suffer through a heartbreaking surge of pandemic poverty and loss of lives."
