Hot Meal Programs & Food Pantries

The Salvation Army serves more than 56 million meals to anyone in need through its many soup kitchens, sit-down meal programs, food pantries, mobile meals, and community gardens. These nutritional meals assist homeless people of all ages, as well as individuals and families who may be down on their luck and in need of some extra assistance.

Homeless Services and Prevention

Services offered include prevention, refuge, and stability to men, women, and families who find themselves without shelter or at risk of losing shelter due to personal and financial circumstances. Housing options include homelessness prevention, emergency and transitional housing, re-housing programs, low-income housing, and residential recovery programs – giving individuals support through their current life state.
