Providing Essential Services to the Carolinas

How We Help

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.

Family and Individual Shelters

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.

Emergency Financial Assistance

59% of Americans are one paycheck from becoming homeless*
*2019 Modern Wealth Survey, Charles Schwab

The Salvation Army's emergency financial assistance programs help prevent homelessness when financial crises occur.
The Salvation Army provides emergency financial assistance for rent and utilities to help households prevent homelessness. Because each community is unique, the details of financial assistance programs vary between our different commands. There are requirements for assistance that vary by location. These often include, but are not limited to, a valid photo identification card, your social security card, and various other supporting documents. Please do not hesitate to contact your local Salvation Army office for complete details or to schedule a consultation with our staff.

Food Pantries
Our food pantries are a great way for struggling individuals and families to supplement their existing groceries.

Soup Kitchens
A hot meal can make a world of difference to someone that is struggling with food insecurity or homelessness.

Senior Assistance

More than 14% of Americans over age 71 are affected by dementia. Research suggests that elderly care involving human contact and interpersonal conversation lowers the impact of dementia and depression. The Salvation Army works to provide programs and services to assist seniors socially, emotionally, and financially.

Community Centers
The Salvation Army community centers support senior citizens in different ways. Through a wide variety of programs, older adults can gather together to share interests, develop new skills, and enjoy the company of their peers.

Activities
The Salvation Army works to stimulate the minds and bodies of older adults via educational opportunities, low-impact exercise, dances, lunches, fellowship, and countless other young-at-heart activities.

Residences
To help ease the functional transitions associated with advanced age, we offer housing assistance and living quarters for the elderly - each cultivated with a loving atmosphere of support, kindness, and acceptance.
