The Salvation Army helps families thrive through
Our Grand Rapids state-of-the-art Kroc Community Center gives families a chance to discover new skills, passions, and hobbies while connecting with friends and neighbors. Each facility offers after-school programs, recreational opportunities, and community programs.
We bring children into an environment where the learning continues long after the bell rings. We operate an affordable after school program at the Kroc to give kids a safe place to play, learn and grow. During a time where they could otherwise be at risk, we open our doors to kids for growth in literacy, sports, arts, music skills, and fun.
Established in 1929, Little Pine Island (LPI) Camp and Retreat Center offers a setting of natural beauty in a family friendly, Christian atmosphere. Located just 10 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, LPI is available for all of your group needs, like church, organizational, or school retreats, family reunions and weddings. Outdoor amenities include a lakeside playground, athletic field, a high and low challenge course, plus a waterfront equipped with paddle boats and canoes.
The Salvation Army's Pathway of Hope initiative provides individualized services to families with children who desire to take action to break the cycle of crisis and vulnerability that repeats generation after generation. It seeks to address the root causes of poverty in addition to The Army's history of compassionate serving. By helping families overcome challenges like unemployment, unstable housing, and lack of education, we can lead families down a path toward increased stability and, ultimately, self-sufficiency.
