Our Services

The Salvation Army Family Services, Feeding Services, Sheltering and Supportive Housing, and Emergency Assistance services are available to people of all ages. In addition to addressing the immediate symptoms of food insecurity, poverty, and homelessness, our programs are designed to help identify and treat its root cause. This approach focuses on meeting the physical, mental and spiritual needs of each person and helps move many from hungry to fully healed.
