Poverty doesn't have to be permanent.

The Salvation Army helps those in need to overcome poverty through a variety of programs.

Social Service Assistance

Many families and individuals facing poverty often must make the painful choice between heating and eating - that is, they must decide whether they'll pay their bills or pay for food. Without sufficient funds, many are forced to go without a warm, nutritious meal in order to keep a roof over their head. This program assists individuals and families with food assistance, hot meals, clothing, and furniture vouchers (when applicable).

Our office hours are as follows: Monday to Friday 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Food pantry

Hours: Tuesday 10am-12pm, Wednesday 2pm-4pm, Friday 2pm-4pm

Please bring IDs for each member of the household. Each household can visit the pantry twice per calendar month.

Please bring your own reusable bags/cart to transport.

Hygiene items are available only when we have received hygiene donations.

Emergency Assistance

Our ability to assist with Emergency situations is addressed on a case-by-case basis, as funding allows. To find out more, please come to our office during our open hours.
