By providing comprehensive support, we aim to equip individuals and families with the tools they need to improve their lives. We offer a variety of services to help people overcome financial challenges, find employment, and build stronger communities.
Whether you're facing a temporary setback or long-term poverty, we're here to help. Our goal is to help individuals and families break the cycle of poverty and achieve their full potential.
How You Can Help
You can help alleviate poverty in our community by:
- Volunteering: Volunteer your time to support our programs and initiatives.
- Donating: Your gift helps us provide essential services to those in need.
By working together, we can create communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive by providing poverty assistance to those who need it.
Breaking the Cycle of Poverty
The Salvation Army’s Pathway of Hope initiative marks a pivotal shift to focusing on the core causes of poverty rather than treating the symptoms. Lack of job opportunities, unstable housing, and an underserved educational environment can all be major challenges for someone looking to lead a self-sustainable life. With our help, people living in poverty can break the cycle of crisis and vulnerability and lead families down a path toward increased stability for years to come. It’s a pathway of hope for current and future generations.
