The Story We're Still Telling

The Salvation Army began in London in 1865 and arrived in the U.S. in 1880. From street missions to disaster relief, our calling remains the same: love in action.

Through every era of change, The Salvation Army has stayed rooted in community — not just showing up in crisis, but investing in long-term hope. Our presence is more than a moment. It’s a promise.

A Few Ways to Come Alongside

You don’t need a title or a platform to participate. You just need a heart willing to step in. Here’s how you can walk with us this week—simple acts that carry real impact:

• Wear red or a HOPE shirt to show your support for those serving on the front lines.
• Pray for the people offering help and those courageously seeking it.
• Thank a volunteer or frontline worker for showing up when it matters most.
• Share your Salvation Army story online to inspire someone else to join the mission.

Every action matters. Every voice helps others feel seen, valued, and invited.
Together, we shine the light of Christ—one step, one story, one soul at a time.

Walk With Us

For 160 years, The Salvation Army has loved all who feel lost. With your help, we will never stop!

You can be part of this story too.

The work doesn’t end with a week. And it doesn’t continue without you.
