The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.

The Salvation Army has been meeting the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of underserved individuals without discrimination in our community for 134 years.

Last year, The Salvation Army provided over a half million services to nearly 50,000 unique individuals in our community. That ads up to 1 in every 15 people living in El Paso County receiving a meal, food bag, utility assistance, night of shelter, case management, or other needed support from The Salvation Army!

The agency focuses largely on serving families, seniors, and veterans – operating the city’s only emergency family shelter and one of the state’s largest and most successful programs transitioning veterans experiencing homelessness into permanent housing.
