Social Services in Palm Beach County
The Salvation Army Social Service office provides assistance and support to people in need through various services and programs. As a distinctly Christian social service, we offer care to the total person, spirit, mind and body.
We offer assistance with dry goods from our food pantry, clothing from community donations, emergency furniture assistance for victims of natural disasters and utility/rental assistance.
A needs assessment interview is required during your initial visit. Case management during subsequent visits ensures forward progress in achieving and maintaining goals that lead to self-sufficiency.
We may refer you to other organizations if we cannot directly assist you with your needs.
Pathway of Hope
The Salvation Army’s Pathway of Hope initiative provides individualized services to families with children who desire to break the cycle of crisis and vulnerability that repeats generation after generation. It seeks to address the root causes of poverty in addition to The Army’s history of compassionate serving.
By helping families overcome challenges like unemployment, unstable housing, and lack of education, we can lead families down a path toward increased stability and, ultimately, self-sufficiency.
