The Salvation Army of Kerr County began as a service unit in 1967, and due to growth in need for service and the addition of community programs, it became a Corps in 1987 and moved into its current location at 855 Hays Street. Over the past 20 years the programs and services have continued to expand to meet the needs within the community. In 2010, The Salvation Army Ray & Joan Kroc Corps Community Center opened and allowed The Salvation Army in Kerrville an opportunity to provide new and expanded programs and services which allow it to serve a more diverse population within the community.
