Our Vision

The Salvation Army is committed to serving men, women, and children in need on a daily basis without discrimination, by:

• Providing basic needs services such as food, rental and utility assistance, and case management support for families in distress
• Helping youth overcome a number of obstacles including poverty, violence, overcrowded and failing schools, and the influence of drugs and illegal activities
• Providing a safety net for homeless individuals looking to make necessary life changes
• Providing supportive services through our homeless programs to veterans and recovering addicts
• Providing basic health services to low-income and homeless individuals
• Providing educational training and skills enhancement to those looking to regain control of their lives, or to children who simply need a helping hand
• Filling a critical need for housing for low-income seniors, as well as assisting them in managing escalating housing costs
• Responding to disasters by ensuring that the most vulnerable members of our community receive shelter, food, and assistance in rebuilding their lives
• Measuring, communicating and learning from the impact of our efforts
