The Salvation Army combats poverty with:

Pathway of Hope for Families

Pathway of Hope is a holistic Salvation Army approach to create a path out of poverty. We provide targeted services to families with children under the age of 18, both traditional and non-traditional family structures, who desire to break the cycle of crisis. Through case management, we focus on a family's capabilities and raise hope by empowering them to overcome barriers on the path to self-sufficiency. Families set their own goals, and we partner with them to provide the resources needed to accomplish each one. Learn more here >

Rent and Utility Bill Assistance

As rental prices rise, people are forced to pay more than they reasonably should, causing many to live paycheck-to-paycheck. Across the Midwest and America, most new developments are high-end, making modestly priced units and affordable housing increasingly rare. The Salvation Army is here to help people stay in their homes when they have nowhere else to turn. Our emergency rent and utility bill assistance programs throughout the Midwest keep the lights on and give peace of mind. If you need rent or utility assistance, please contact us at wmibattlecreek@usc.salvationarmy.org or (269) 963-3640.

Meal Assistance

No one should ever have to make the difficult choice between eating a meal or paying a bill? But this is a reality for millions. While the task may seem daunting, The Salvation Army answers the call by serving warm, nutritious meals. Learn more about our food programs in Battle Creek here >
