For 125 years, The Montclair Citadel Corps has been a beacon of hope and a model of ministry in the Name of Jesus in suburban Essex County, New Jersey. Whether it is housing a needy family at our Cornerstone House Shelter, feeding the homeless at our hot meal program, providing emergency assistance, building characters in future generations, or serving as a place of worship for those seeking spiritual nurture, Montclair Citadel provides something for everyone.

Equipped with a wonderful 29,000 square foot facility that opened in March 2009, The Salvation Army marches on. You are welcome to learn more about Montclair Citadel, through our "Fast Facts," which will give you the statistics for our service. Behind every number is a person touched by Salvation Army ministry.

Please help us serve the Montclair community

Covid-19 presented many challenges this past year and while restrictions are lifting and we are beginning a return to more normal routines, there remains a need for our services in this community. It is our mission ‘to meet human needs in His name without discrimination’. To that end we want to invite you to consider a financial gift to that will help us continue to provide vital, life-saving assistance. Our promise is, and always has been, that we will do the most good we can with your donation. If you have any questions about the ongoing services of Montclair Citadel, about how your gift will be used to serve our at-risk neighbors, or about anything else regarding The Salvation Army in our community, please feel free to contact us – we would love to connect with you. May God bless.

Most Good 5K 2022

Please join us!

September 24, 2022

Virtual Event September 24-26, 2022

The need has been greater than ever, and the challenges presented by COVID-19 have been numerous. But we have always been committed to serve this community, and with some adjustments we continue to keep that commitment.

As we plan the 2022 Most Good 5K, we realize that it may not be possible for everyone to attend. With that in mind, our event will be HYBRID. There will be an in person option and the opportunity to participate virtually. Your support of our event will help us:

• Serve 50-60 lunches each Monday – Wednesday. We are now able to allow a limited number of guests inside to enjoy the meal, socially distanced; guests who have a place to go are given their meal “to go”.
• Provide our guests without addresses a place to shower. We provide the toiletries and a change of clothes.
• Provide case management for the homeless, and homeless prevention services to those needing assistance to stabilize their housing.
• Provide safe, clean, emergency shelter to individuals and families at Cornerstone House.

We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you!
