The history of The Salvation Army of Hutchinson is steeped in The Salvation Army’s philosophy of Doing the Most Good.

Since 1893, we have been providing Hutchinson, Kansas, with both humanitarian and spiritual care.

Our services cater to those in need within the Heartland of America. We provide rent and utility assistance, distribute food, and offer emergency assistance.

Emergency assistance is our bread and butter. With our Emergency Disaster Services (EDS) fleet vehicle, we are able to serve those facing emergencies, no matter where they are. For clients who visit our corps, we provide a welcoming environment that offers services often taken for granted, such as showers and a fully equipped gymnasium for youth programs.

Speaking of youth programming, our services are not exclusive to adults. School-age care and recreational activities are offered to children within our community who need a safe place to learn, play, and grow.

We also assist people with prescriptions, identification documents, and other necessities as our budget permits. Seasonally, we provide cooling relief in the summer and Christmas assistance during the holidays.

Last year, we gave gift cards to over 800 households and distributed well over 1,000 food boxes to support more than 900 households during Christmas.

In addition to our corps building, we own and operate a local thrift store, offering great value on items for shoppers while raising money to support those we serve. At our thrift store, we offer clothing, home goods, and physical media.
