Annual Report

For 140 years, The Salvation Army has been serving our neighbors across Central Ohio.

Since our work began in Columbus in 1885, much has changed. Our communities have grown, populations have shifted, and the challenges facing individuals and families have evolved. Yet one thing has remained constant: the presence of human need and our commitment to meeting that need with compassion, dignity, and hope.

Because of supporters like you, thousands of individuals and families each year receive food, housing assistance, youth programming, emergency support, spiritual care, and other critical services through The Salvation Army in Central Ohio.

As we celebrate 140 years of service, we invite you to explore our 2025–26 Annual Report above and see the impact we are making together while preparing to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
