Why does Salvation Army have a store?

Question

If its suppose to be a donation place to help people out with food, clothing and all, then why the h**l are they selling everything in a store?

sounds like Salvation army is just a scam.

Answer 1

They are primarily an organization that helps the underprivileged.

  

When people donate clothes, they can give the clothes to the homeless, women and children that need to get away from their abusive husband(s)  

They make money from the sale of those goods.
