The Salvation Army (Greater Valley Corps)

The Salvation Army's mission is to meet basic human needs without discrimination and its ministry is motivated by the love of God. The Salvation Army's goal is to help individuals and families deal with the many challenges they face in their daily lives through social, educational, emotional, and spiritual development. Every program and service is designed to support and develop self-sufficiency and hope.

In tandem with The Salvation Army's global mission, locally, the Greater Valley Corps' goal is to help those in need. As a result, individuals and families continue to benefit from the comprehensive emergency assistance offered through its Food Pantry, including a separate Bread and Pastry Program consisting of donations from local businesses, Community Meal Programs, including Special Event Meals, clothing and furniture vouchers, rental and utility assistance, and more.

Furthermore, the Greater Valley Corps also provides programs for children and adults alike, including Family Night, Kids Club, and WOW (Women Of Worth) Women's Ministry, thereby offering educational, fellowship, and service opportunities. Nutritious meals are also offered to participants, allowing The Salvation Army to simultaneously relieve a basic need while ensuring that those who come will learn while having fun, with participants not having to worry about being hungry. Such programs strive to build awareness in key areas that all participants could benefit from additional guidance in, such as health and safety, and encourage learning and growth through interaction, support, and determination. Such opportunities build confidence, self-sufficiency, and hope for participants and their families.
