Seven Pillars of Service
Seven Pillars of Service
The mission of The Salvation Army is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name, without discrimination. In the Greater St. Louis area, our seven core program and service initiatives reflect hope in action.
You see, behind the red kettles and the joy of the Christmas season, we're serving the community 24/7/365 through various programs and social services that provide care and dignity to our most marginalized neighbors. And, we can only deliver on our mission with the help and support of the community.
