Help us fill backpacks before school starts ✏️

It's back-to-school time! That means parents are rushing to find items on supply lists. And many of them are struggling to afford it all. On average, they spend over $670 per child on clothes, supplies, backpacks, technology and more.

With inflation stretching budgets, checking everything off this year is a heavy burden. Donate today to help struggling parents at salarmy.us/lovebeyondbacktoschool

Giving of any kind brings hope to those in need!

Fighting poverty is a year-round challenge ❤️

Our mission to LOVE BEYOND poverty isn't pro this or pro that. It's proactive. It's protective. And your donations help us to continue to fight.

The cycle of poverty is the source of so many spiraling problems. Addiction. Overdue bills. Hunger. Loveliness. Eviction. For 156 years, The Salvation Army has loved those who feel lost and, with your help, we will never stop.

Did you know that each year, we provide over 10 million nights of lodging to those in need?

Providing a home is so much more than wood, plaster or bricks it was built with. It’s a feeling of comfort and safety. It’s a family that welcomes you with open arms. And most importantly, it’s the unconditional love that surrounds you from the moment you arrive.

We deliver this feeling of home to everyone who walks in our doors. Sometimes that means shelter, a warm meal, someone to talk to or a place for spiritual healing.

Happy National Donut Day!

Donuts do more than taste good: they can actually do good. In fact, history was made when dedicated Salvation Army volunteers sought to raise spirits and fuel hope by risking their lives to deliver thousands of sweet treats during wartime.

Meet Terell, a graduate of our Adult Rehabilitation Center (ARC) in San Jose ❤️ After completing the six-month, no-fee rehabilitation program, graduates have the opportunity to continue living at the ARC while they find stable employment. Once that step is completed, they can apply to the transitional living program.

The strain of the last few years has led many people to substance abuse. We are here to help them find a way out. With a graduation rate three times that of comparable programs, we recognize that every path to recovery looks a little different. For some, this means needing a supportive place to live. For others, it's connecting with family, culture and nature.

There's no place like summer camp! 🏕️ Every child should experience the transformative power of nature.

Every year, thousands of kids of all ages get a fresh perspective on life as they meet new friends, discover new activities, and get a taste of the great outdoors. As campers learn to swim, play sports, create music, make art, and scout, their trained counselors help them navigate the complicated emotions and struggles often associated with their lives back home.
