Doing The Most to Help Families
The Salvation Army Helps Make Families Whole.
We open our arms and our hearts to give families the support they need to grow together and thrive.
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:
After-School Programs and Child Care
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 to help families identify barriers to self-sufficiency (unemployment, insecure housing, lack of job skills, lack of childcare, etc), Pathway of Hope also provides guidance on how to address these barriers, and connects families with community support organizations, and more.
Worship with Us
We welcome you to worship with us every Sunday at 10:30 with adult small groups and open gym following after service.
