"I came to Salvation Army looking for basic help like clothes & food. They went beyond that - offering to always help."

Sometimes life hits you hard and you just need a hand up. The Salvation Army is there to show you the path to hope.

The Salvation Army provides resources and support for adults in our community through: 

Pathway of Hope
