Every day, we help thousands of people throughout North and South Carolina. We offer unique, local programs, designed to meet the specific needs of each community we serve. Explore the ways we provide services for the Carolinas or find your local Salvation Army to discover local programming.
We Offer Hope & Refuge
The Salvation Army Center of Hope & Family Shelter programs are designed to provide emergency or transitional housing to men, women, or families in need. Underlying this program is a motivation to identify the causes of homelessness and work to eliminate homelessness at its source.
While at a Salvation Army shelter, families and individuals participate in programs and workshops developed to promote self-sufficiency and personal development. Each resident is matched with an on-site caseworker and together they create an extensive goal-oriented program designed to identify and overcome the barriers to safe, permanent housing.
