Our programs evolve where the community needs them, so we may shine our light as a youth center in one community but as an emergency shelter in another. We Change Lives, Not Days We look at the whole person and partner with them to provide a pathway out of poverty by focusing on their capabilities and empowering them to overcome barriers. We offer help for the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of a person to create a longer-lasting change in their own life and to break the cycle of crisis in their family tree. We Know We Can’t Do It Alone We’ve been at it long enough to know that we’re only as strong as the relationships we build. That’s why we build partnerships, not walls, with other organizations in the communities where we serve. And, it’s why we need people like you to join us in the fight for good by giving your time, talent and resources so we can continue serving others. The Stories We Love to Tell When someone who has struggled for a season finally closes that chapter of their life, they can feel it in their soul and a peace resides on their face for the first time in years. It’s a privilege for us to see that first smile. Words can hardly describe it, but that’s what we try to convey in the stories that we share with you. Here are just a few of these stories we love to tell. I worked hard to get on housing lists but I hit barriers because of my past. I was very un-housable.” Lauren moved into a Salvation Army permanent supporting housing unit on April 1, 2021, and has been making positive steps ever since. She has been sober for four years and now has all three of her kids living with her under one roof. Today I have a happy, healthy quality of life—better than I ever thought possible,” Lauren said. Each day, I work hard to make good new habits. I have the confidence to tackle any barriers thrown my way.” Explore Lauren’s Story More Stories Previous Historic $40 Million grant Lilly Endowment Inc. has awarded The Salvation Army a major gift to help those coping with natural disasters Read More Love Beyond Disaster Donate to help The Salvation Army provide needed aid, food, shelter, and support to those affected by Hurricane Ian Donate Now Love Beyond Surging Prices Your monthly donation helps local families pay their bills when the costs keep going up Give to Neighbors in Need Love Beyond Conflict: Ukraine Support families impacted by the crisis in Ukraine Donate Now Learn More Emergency Homeless Shelters and Housing The Salvation Army provides safe shelter to nearly 28,000 people every night Find Shelter Help Others in NeedHope Marches On Your tax-deductible gift helps hardworking families in the new year.
