The Salvation Army evaluates every local community and strives to meet the greatest need in each. Our services are available in every U.S. ZIP code.

We work alongside other local organizations to complement, not duplicate, existing services in order to maximize local impact. Whether it's providing shelter for homeless youth, a warm meal for a struggling family, respite for a domestic abuse survivor, or addiction recovery to someone who's lost hope, among many other services, we invest in programs that can uniquely transform the people in your community.

Veterans Affairs Voluntary Service

Many know of the work of The Salvation Army during war time. Many Veterans tell stories of how they were served by The Salvation Army. Most notably the Doughnut Girls from World War I. Today The Salvation Army is nationally a member of the VAVS along with many other organizations. It is our desire to service our hospitalized veterans through the Community Care Program, as well as honor them by participation in special events held by the VAVS. Join in the celebration of the National Salute to Hospitalized Veterans, as well as the celebration of the VAVS Salute to Veterans and participate in regular & seasonal visitation. In order to become a regular volunteer at a VA Medical Center, VAVS and Salvation Army regulations must be followed.

Community Care & Youth

Youth are welcomed as Community Care volunteers. Teaching our youth to care for others in our communities is an important value. There is training available.

Community Care Training

Every volunteer must complete a basic training, which will be done at your local Salvation Army. There is also additional training available for each of the volunteer opportunities.
