We Serve Those Who Have Served Our Country
We serve our veterans with gratitude, providing comfort, support, shelter, and more.
Veterans make up 8% of the homeless population in the U.S.
Homelessness, PTSD, self-medication, and addiction have caused those who gave everything to lose everything.
We have made it our mission to serve veterans who've served us.
It all began with donuts and coffee for soldiers during World War I, and it only grew from there. Today, The Salvation Army offers a range of services, providing comfort, support, counseling, and shelter to thousands of veterans in need each year. We express gratitude for our country’s bravest men and women by offering a hand and our hearts to those struggling to find their way after coming back home.
Serve a Veteran in Need. You Can Help.
The Salvation Army Serves Thousands of Veterans Through:

Established in 1994, the Clinic services residents from Wayne, Oakland and Macomb County, in addition to providing assistance to the indigent population participating in The Salvation Army's residential Harbor Light Programs.

Our Bed & Bread Club provides a warm, nutritious meal 365 days a year and a safe place to stay to individuals and families across Michigan. In addition, in the City of Detroit our Bed & Bread trucks make nearly 60 stops where individuals can receive a nutritious meal, coats, gloves and blankets. We also assist those interested in leaving the streets.
The Salvation Army has food pantries throughout the state of Michigan. Food boxes may include shelf-stable pantry items, breads, cereals, meat and other household necessities. For more information, contact a Corps Community and Worship Center near you.
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.
Studies have shown that veterans struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder also struggle with addictions. More than 30% of vets seeking treatment for substance use disorder also battle PTSD.
The Harbor Light is an intense, inpatient substance abuse treatment and rehabilitation program. One of the most respected programs in the country, Harbor Light provides transitional services and employment training to help clients overcome their addiction and successfully transition back into their communities.
