Emergency Disaster Services
The Salvation Army is ready to serve at a moment's notice whenever disaster strikes. Our local trained team may service in local, state, national and international disasters.
Residential Services
Homeless Shelters
There are a lot of reasons people need help with housing. Sometimes life doesn’t turn out the way we planned. Other times we experience unexpected circumstances in life, such as job loss or debt following a medical emergency. With one in six people living in poverty today, homelessness is not predictable or exclusive to a certain “type” of person – it could happen to anyone.
Emergency Shelter – Displaced clients are provided up to two nights of shelter in a local hotel every six months. Rapid
Rehousing – Homeless individuals and families are placed into housing and provided wrap around case management to help achieve self-sufficiency.
Whether you need a roof over your head for the night or you’re looking for an affordable place to call home for years, The Salvation Army has a number of transitional and permanent housing options in centers throughout Texas that can help. Thousands of people sleep safely every night because of these programs.
Adult Rehabilitation Centers
The Salvation Army of Texas Adult Rehabilitation Centers provide spiritual, social and emotional assistance for men and women who have lost the ability to cope with their problems and provide for themselves. Each center offers residential housing, work, and group and individual therapy, all in a clean, wholesome environment. The physical and spiritual care that program participants receive prepares them to re-enter society and return to gainful employment. Many of those who have been rehabilitated are reunited with their families and resume a normal life.
Who is Eligible?
Applicants with a desire to get help may be referred by families, friends, courts, clergy and community leaders or may simply call the Intake Office at 1-800-SA-TRUCK (728-7825) to make an appointment or get more information about local ARC programs.
Texas Adult Rehabilitation Centers
There are five Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Centers in Texas: Dallas , Fort Worth , Austin , San Antonio and Houston .
Youth Programs
We provide summer camps and after-school programs for students of all ages, and numerous music, art, and athletic programs for aspiring youth.
Fighting food insecurity
When hard times hit, The Salvation Army is here to help meet all of your basic needs. Whether you need a bag of groceries to get through the week, a hot meal, or assistance paying an outstanding bill, every county in Texas has either a Salvation Army Worship and Community Center, Service Center, or Service Unit representative ready to help.
Food for the Hungry – Multiple programs operate to address food insecurity in our community including “Feed My Sheep”, Soup, Soap & Salvation”, “Thanksgiving Meal Boxes”, “Christmas Cheer Boxes” and Food Pantry bulk food distributions.
Spiritual Care
The love of God is at the heart of what we do. Our service-oriented approach to faith is shared each Sunday at services throughout the country.
When you think of The Salvation Army you may think of our brand promise, ‘Doing the Most Good’, the Red Kettle Campaign, our Disaster Services, or feeding programs. However, what many people do know know is that The Salvation Army is primarily a Christian church. We meet people’s physical needs and heal souls through our spiritual ministry, sharing the love of Jesus Christ. We want to help you explore what it means to have a personal relationship with God.
Whether church is already part of your life or you are experiencing faith for the first time, you are always welcome at any of our Worship and Service Centers in Texas. The Salvation Army is a church home to many on Sundays, but we also offer spiritual ministry during the week.
