The Salvation Army is profiting from all those Big Macs Americans have chowed down on over the years, thanks to an estimated $1.5 billion donation from the estate of Joan Kroc, the McDonald's heiress. Atlanta will be a likely beneficiary.

The money will be used to build special community centers at 25 to 30 unspecified locations nationwide. The cash will be disbursed to four regions of the country, including the Atlanta-based Southern territory, which will make the final call on where the community centers will be built."
