We’re Many Things to Many People
Those struggling to make ends meet will find a helping hand to move them back toward self-sufficiency. During times of disaster, we provide accommodations and a hot meal. Families going through difficult times discover spiritual help from caring Corps Officers and loving support from a community of believers.
Whether it’s a warm blanket, a safe place to stay, The Salvation Army stands ready to share the love of Jesus Christ with everyone. Programs that The Salvation Army offers through their dedicated staff and volunteers include:
A Need to Expand
After 24 years of providing transitional housing for homeless families at our Downtown facility, there was a need for us to expand. The George W. Jenkins Community of Hope is a 49-acre community development, designed as a family-friendly neighborhood to help struggling families overcome their circumstances and rebuild their lives.
This bold initiative created one campus where quality programming can be provided in a safe, encouraging neighborhood to assist families facing the crisis of homelessness.
We need friends like you to help support our efforts to improve the quality of life for these struggling families. Join us in helping change the lives of these parents and create a long-lasting change in the lives of their children which will continue through future generations.
How about giving the gift of hope to help a homeless family regain independence?
Help us Help Those in Need
We hope you will give serious consideration to partnering with The Salvation Army serving West Polk County in one or more of these ways.
We are always striving to improve our service to the greater Lakeland community. To hold that standard, we realize these efforts are essential.
Thank you so much for your support of The Salvation
