THE SALVATION ARMY IN MOOSE JAW

The Salvation Army has been at work in Moose Jaw for more than 135 years and is known for its work through the church, community and family services in the city. The Salvation Army exists to share hope wherever there is hardship, building communities, and know the love of Jesus. Important program priorities include disaster and relief services, Community Care Ministry in personal care homes, financial trustee services for vulnerable adults, and emergency family services. These programs, operated in Moose Jaw and Assiniboia, are directed by Lieutenants Lester and Almeta Ward, who are the pastors appointed by The Salvation Army. They are supported by roughly 25 employees and countless volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure that the Army is committed to “Giving Hope Today”!

The Army has been best known for the operation of its Thrift Stores in Moose Jaw and Assiniboia. This is associated with the Donation and Sorting Centre, where donations of good used items are received from generous citizens of the city and surrounding areas. Profits from the sale of these goods go toward developing and maintaining programs within the Moose Jaw and Assiniboia region. These funds provide food, clothing and practical assistance to individuals who may require assistance. In addition, hundreds of children are sponsored to attend vacation camps at Beaver Creek Camp each year near Saskatoon. Within the church, there are opportunities for Christian worship weekly through Sunday worship services, weekly Bible study programs, children and youth ministries and community service opportunities.
