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.
"The Salvation Army taught me how to advocate for my family and access other services. And that we're not alone."
The Salvation Army meets families wherever they are in life and help them move to a more self-sufficient and productive path.
The Salvation Army equips families in our community through:
