Adults in need make up the biggest group we serve

How we help partner with adults

We partner with adults by connecting them with tools and resources to help them through any life struggle. Our opportunities and services give people a whole army of support so they know they're not alone.

If you need assistance or would like any more information about the programs listed below, contact us at 734-282-0930.

Food Pantry

Our food pantry is provided to eligible clients on a 30-day basis. Food boxes generally consist of canned goods and non-perishable food items. Minimal toiletries are also provided upon request if available at time of appointment. Food boxes are provided by appointment only during open office hours.

Pathway of Hope

If you feel like your family is struggling or like you are stuck and cannot seem to move forward, the Pathway of Hope may prove to be a good first step towards a brighter future for you and your children. Eligible families must simply have children under the age of 18 and be ready and willing to take action to change their circumstance. Upon enrollment, the Downriver Salvation Army team will work alongside you and your family to not only assess your family’s needs and connect you to needed resources in the community, but also help you to set goals and map out a plan to stay on track and to achieve those goals. Our team will encourage you throughout your journey and celebrate your successes along with you until you are ready to step out into a better future for yourself and your family.
