Emergency Services
Tragedy and misfortune can strike at any time. At those critical moments of need, the Salvation Army provides food, clothing, and furniture. Your donations of usable goods and funding allow us to meet these needs.

Food Pantry
Hundreds of families get assistance from our food pantry each year. When life's circumstances make it necessary for someone to ask for help, we stand ready to make sure they will not go hungry. Volunteers can help stock shelves, pack food boxes, and sort during food drives. There is always a need for help in the food pantry.

Hot Meals
Breakfast and supper are served Monday thru Friday at the Salvation Army Grimminger Center to about 200 people daily. The working poor, people struggling to make ends meet, and the homeless all utilize the program to get a hot meal. It is only through the volunteer efforts of caring people that the meal is cooked, served and cleaned up after.

Family Store
The store is a source of income to help fund our social service programs, including the Men's Shelter, hot meals program and food pantry. We always need help with sorting and hanging donated clothing, and stocking shelves. Donations of good, quality, saleable items are key to funding our programs and make our Family Store a great a great place to shop!

Men's Shelter
Our shelter provides a haven for men who have no place to turn except to the streets. We often take for granted the feeling of being warm, fed and cared for. To someone who needs it the most, it can make all the difference in the world.

Women's Bible Study
This study group meets on Wednesday mornings at 8:30am at the Grimminger Center (818 West 3rd Street) for a wonderful time of fellowship and growing in God's word.

Ladies Quilting
If you love the fellowship of other women and you love to quilt, or would love to learn, come to the Grimminger Center (818 West 3rd Street) on Saturday mornings at 10:00am

Sunday Church Services
We worship at the Grimminger Center (818 West 3rd Street) on Sunday mornings. Sunday school is at 9:00am, Prayer Meeting at 9:45am, and worship is at 10:00am. We welcome your visit and hope you'll want to join us again and again.

Bell Ringing
The bells ringing in front of many of the local stores each Christmas alert the public to the needs in our community. The money raised help fund our shelter, hot meals program, and social service work. The kettles are manned with volunteers that give of their time to make a difference in the community.

Thanksgiving Dinner
Thanksgiving is a special day when families and loved ones gather together and give thanks for the blessings in their lives. For some people, it's another holiday they cannot afford to celebrate. Volunteers prepare, serve and clean up a wonderful dinner for those in our community that might otherwise go without. Many hands make for light work on this special day.

Sally's Toy Shop
This wonderful toy shop is designed to bring toys to needy children. People in the community purchase the toys and bring them to us. Volunteers walk the parents through the toy shop and allow them to pick out gifts for their children. This is a very rewarding way to participate as a volunteer, or to provide toys for children to make their Christmas special.
