Doing The Most to Help Families
The Salvation Army Helps Make Families Whole.
As long as there's The Salvation Army, there's no such thing as "no place to go."
The Salvation Army equips families in our community through:
Music, Visual and Dramatic Education
The Salvation Army is the largest music educator in the world, with offerings in brass, vocal, guitar, drums and more. It is important to provide additional creative outlets for youth, teens and adults to share their experiences, hopes, dreams and fears. Classes are offered on Wednesdays. Beginner Band: 6 p.m. Senior Brass Band: 8:15 p.m.
Camp
Wonderland Camp provides week-long summer camp options for youth, teens and seniors with a different theme each week. We also host day camps during school breaks and the summer, which include meals, activities, field trips and more. For more information, call 815.227.0635.
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.
Emergency Food Pantry & Meals
59% of people seeking food assistance choose between buying food and paying rent or mortgage. Our Emergency Food Pantry serves the Rockford/Winnebago County area. Items provided include shelf-stable pantry foods, breads, cereals, meat, produce, dairy, and other household necessities. For more information, visit our Social Services page or call 815-972-1135.
Homelessness Prevention & Emergency Assistance Programs

Broken families can be healed. You can help.
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.
