By providing programs that serve the body, mind and soul, The Salvation Army Greater Birmingham Area Command works to end poverty - and the root issues that cause it.
“While women weep, as they do now, I’ll fight. While little children go hungry, as they do now, I’ll fight. While men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I’ll fight. While there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I’ll fight. I’ll fight to the very end!”
Each night in the United States, 17.4 million families go to bed hungry.
An additional 6.9 million families live on the verge of food insecurity.
That means they don’t always know where their next meal is coming from.
