“Faith and works should travel side-by-side, step answering to step, like the legs of men walking. First faith, and then works; and then faith again, and then works again — until they can scarcely distinguish which is the one and which is the other.” ~ William Booth

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! For people in serious need, The Salvation Army is a buffer between their lives and desperation. It's the difference between feeling that you've run out of options and getting a second chance. In Palm Beach County, many families are suffering economic jeopardy. All it takes is a missed paycheck, an illness or a spouse who leaves and the family slides into homelessness, desperation and possible dissolution. The Salvation Army Social Service programs meet the basic needs of daily life for those without the resources to do so themselves.
DONATE YOUR UNWANTED BUT USABLE ITEMS AND SHOP OUR FAMILY STORES
The Salvation Army has operated a "curbside" recycling program for more than 100 years. It began in the slums of 19th Century London, and continues to this day in all corners of the globe. The Salvation Army is supported by the collection and sale of society's surplus but usable household goods. In the early days, men with push carts were sent out to collect paper and other salvage. Horses and wagons eventually supplanted the push carts, and in turn were supplanted by the familiar Salvation Army trucks. Today, pick up service and drop off locations collect the donations of a generous public, which fund local programs and services offered to thousands of men, women and children in your local community.
