We are a TEFAP participating food pantry and an equal opportunity provider. We offer groceries to whoever is in need while meeting the requirements of federal guidelines for the TEFAP program... Groceries include dry goods, canned, goods, frozen meat, refrigerator product and other household staples. Clients are allowed to come once a month to "shop" for their families. Clients can also come on behalf of others, and those who might not be able to come to the available times. Those who are not able to get out or find transportation can ask someone to come on their behalf and fill out the proper paperwork to be an approved "proxy". Please contact our offices with any questions about being a proxy.

Seasonal Opportunities

Wal-mart and Schnuck's locations are already available to reserve for 2024!
It's no secret to any of us that people can struggle in lots of different ways. The Salvation Army is dedicated to meeting SO many needs of those struggling in the community. I am sure that you all are familiar with The Salvation Army’s red kettles and bell ringers during the Holiday season. For most of us, it just enhances that “feels like Christmas feeling” when we are out and about shopping over the Holiday’s. The bell ringing does more than just signal it’s “the most wonderful time of the year”. The donations raised from the red kettle campaign provide daily meals, utility resources, youth programs and Christmas toys and food boxes for families in need. The ringing of the bell represents hope. Would you consider “ringing hope” into your community this Holiday season?
Thanksgiving Community Meal & Prep:
Prep Dates -
Nov 22nd 1:30-3:30 pm - we need 2-3 volunteers
Nov 26th 2-5pm - we need 5-10 volunteers (this time may vary depending on when the Turkeys are available.)
Meal-Nov 27th 11 am - 2 pm
We offer a Thanksgiving meal to whomever, although the great draw is from our immediate area. Many fixed-income or no-income families attend, and we try to make it as homey and welcoming as possible. This meal is generally held during the week of Thanksgiving and anyone wanting to join us our welcome. The meal will be held on Nov, 22nd at 1040 N Fulton Ave, from 11-1 pm. If you would like to volunteer, either to help us prep for the event or to serve during the event.
Opportunity is Fulfilled!
Toy Town: December 17 & 18 8:30-5:00 pm
The Salvation Army in partnership with Toys for tots works to provide Christmas presents for children 0- 16 years of age. So the joy of Christmas can still be experienced without the parents having to worry about anything more than what they already have on their plate. It is The Salvation Army's hope that all children feel loved and cared for at Christmas, and we are excited to be working closely with Toys for Tots and other community partners towards the same goal. This is a special time for Children and they may not understand why there may be no presents at Christmas. The Salvation Army's desire is that all know of a special gift that was given by God to this world in Jesus. And He is the reason for the season. We hope that by the selfless giving of gifts and other items we have an avenue to share the love of Jesus and the gospel
