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."

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
Pathway of Hope is a comprehensive case management system that helps families identify barriers to self-sufficiency. Such as unemployment, insecure housing, lack of job skills, lack of childcare, etc. Pathway of Hope also helps address these barriers and connects families with community support organizations, and more.
