As long as there?s The Salvation Army, <br />there?s no such thing as 'no place to go.'

Equipping Families

 

Hard times can fall on anyone

We open our arms and our hearts to give families the support they need to grow together and thrive.

I want to help

I need help

Many working families are living paycheck to paycheck. One unforeseen hardship can uproot everything. Getting ahead in one area means getting behind in another. Your donation can provide relief for a struggling family desperate for hope.

Broken families can be healed. You can help.

The Salvation Army helps Families:

Food Pantry

The Salvation Army offers food for families to help make their money stretch a little further. Can goods and bread items are staples at many pantries. We work closely with local churches and services groups to fill our shelves. Find one near you.

Rent and Utility Assistance

Some of the largest bills every month are the utilities and the rent. Struggling families can receieve assistance with these essentials. Getting help even just once can turn the tide and help a family get stable again. Read More.

Pathway of Hope

The core process used in Pathway of Hope is case management by highly skilled social workers. Families who are often repeat users of our emergency assistance programs are asked to join. They are expected to work hard and to be committed to a life of self-sufficiency, building confidence and good decision making skills along the way. They first work to resolve immediate critical needs. Once the family is stable, it then works from its strengths to remove the family?s roadblocks to success. Goals are set and goals are achieved.

Housing

When it comes to getting back on your feet, sometimes the biggest obstacle to success is a place to call “home.” The Salvation Army is here to provide assistance via our Family Shelters in Independence, Mo., Olathe Kan., and St. Joseph, Mo. Those in need of a permanent home may also start their process with our Permanent Supportive Housing Program in their community.
