The Salvation Army’s Hunger Services
At The Salvation Army, we are committed to alleviating hunger in our community. Our hunger programs provide nutritious food and meals to individuals and families in need, offering both immediate relief and long-term support for food security.
We operate food pantries that provide a variety of groceries, including canned goods, staples, and in some locations, fresh produce. In addition, we host meal programs that not only nourish the body but also provide fellowship and encouragement. By working with local partners, we strive to meet the diverse needs of our neighbors and ensure that no one has to face hunger alone.
Our goal is to strengthen health, dignity, and stability by ensuring that every person has access to the food they need to thrive.
