THE SALvATION AR m Y OF GREATER HOUSTON
The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.
Since 1889, The Salvation Army of Greater Houston, a United Way of Greater Houston partner agency, serves Harris, Montgomery and Fort Bend Counties through three areas of focus: Life Navigation, Youth Development and Rehabilitation. Programming locally includes supportive shelters, emergency disaster relief, social services, youth programs, senior programs and adult rehabilitation.
Each year nearly 30 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army. The Salvation Army is largest non-governmental social services provider in the United States serving every zip code. Of every dollar given locally, about 82 cents goes directly to program services in the Greater Houston Area.
The Salvation Army relies heavily on generous public support, faithful community partners and committed volunteers who support its programs and play a crucial role in its ability to provide quality social services for the entire community. Through the skills and experience they bring, volunteers make significant contributions by positively impacting the lives of those they assist. Salvation Army volunteers change lives, uplift families and support communities throughout our nation every day. Some of the many ways to get involved include helping pack Food Boxes for those suffering from food insecurity, becoming a Bell Ringer at Christmas or adopting an Angel through The Salvation Army Angel Tree Program.
