Doing The Most to Help Families
The Salvation Army helps make families whole.
As long as there's The Salvation Army, there's no such thing as "no place to go."
To keep our clients, staff, and volunteers safe, and in accordance with local and state guidelines, programs and services at The Salvation Army Belvidere Corps Community Center are modified until further notice. For the most up-to-date information, please contact us at 815.544.3892.

Across the US, 11.3 million children take care of themselves after the school day ends.
Through our community center and social services, we equip families with the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual support they need to foster better, brighter futures.
"The Salvation Army taught me how to advocate for my family and access other services. And that we're not alone."
The Salvation Army meets families wherever they are in life and help them move to a more self-sufficient and productive path.
The Salvation Army equips families in our community through:
Head Start & Early Head Start
Head Start and Early Head Start programs provide young children and their families a chance to learn in an educational and creative environment. Programs also meet the needs of teen mothers and homeless families.
After-School Programs
The Salvation Army community centers provide after-school programming to give youth and teens a safe place to complete homework, learn new skills and relax with their friends.
Pathway of Hope
A comprehensive case management system, Pathway of Hope is designed to help families identify barriers to self-sufficiency (unemployment, insecure housing, lack of job skills, lack of childcare, etc.) and ways to address them by connecting with community support organizations and more.
Food Pantry
The Salvation Army's food pantry provides shelf-stable pantry items, breads, cereals, meat and other household necessities. The pantry is open the first Wednesday of each month, from 9:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m., and Mondays through Fridays in emergency situations.
Homelessness Prevention & Emergency Assistance Programs
The Salvation Army provides emergency assistance to help with mortgage/rent, utility bills, clothing, medication bills, and other needs in order to keep families in their homes.
