Emergency Disaster Service Mobile Canteen Louisville Kentucky

On January 27, 1927, Louisville became the headquarters to oversee the work of The Salvation Army in Kentucky and Tennessee. It came under the jurisdiction of the newly formed Southern Territory with its center of operation in Atlanta, Georgia. The offices for the new Louisville Divisional Headquarters were housed in the building on Chestnut St.

A shelter for the homeless opened in 1961, located at 831 South Brook Street. In the years immediately following, other buildings were acquired where the “Center of Hope” and Transitional Housing offices stood providing services to the community.

Colonel Sanders was a loyal volunteer and donor

 

Colonel Harland Sanders Foundation Support

In June 2012, all of The Salvation Army services and administrative offices moved into the current location at 911 South Brook Street in the old Male High School. Housing the Center of Hope, the Sanders Auditorium, the Sanders Mission Corps, the Red Kettle Cafe, an Emergency Night & Day Shelter, along with emergency housing for Veterans and Families experiencing homelessness.

In January 2021, a philanthropic gift from The Colonel Harland Sanders Foundation was made to honor Claudia E. Sanders and benefit the Emergency Family Shelter Units for women & children.

The late Colonel Harland Sanders and wife Claudia believed that with success came a responsibility to help those less fortunate.
