We provide Shelter to those in need
Emergency Shelter is provided to hundreds of men, women, and children every year. Families and others struggling to make ends meet in-danger of becoming homeless are also a primary focus. It takes is one major incident and an individual may be seeking assistance from their local homeless shelter. The Salvation Army is here to assist those individuals experiencing homelessness with a bed, three meals a day, casework, toiletries and more.
More Than Just a Shelter
The Salvation Army strives to meet our residents where they are at and to help them in their journey. With everyone who passes through our doors we welcome with arms. We want to be a place that our residents can call home until they are ready for their next steps in life. We are a place for a safe bed night.
