Volunteers at The Salvation Army Greater Philadelphia.

Behind This Shield is a Big Heart

The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the 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.

For over 150 years, The Salvation Army has represented hope to millions of people in need worldwide. Through its community centers and a network of volunteers, The Salvation Army is on the front line each and every day in nearly every zip code across the United States.

"Doing the most good to the most people in the most need" is more than The Salvation Army's brand, it is our Christian mission as a faith-based organization. From food and shelter for the hungry and homeless to compassionate care where needed, we continue to strive to meet the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of thousands of men, women, and children in Greater Philadelphia.

Notes: The above descriptive information came from the organization's Mission Statement page. The organization's headquarters are in Wynnefield Heights, and it has locations throughout the city.

The Salvation Army is '''equipped to respond to both acute disasters, such as fires and floods as well as the daily, ongoing struggles of the region’s less fortunate''' individuals.   Ever since its early beginnings, The Salvation Army has consistently maintained a record of success stemming from its holistic approach to providing for the needs of the whole individual – physically, emotionally, economically and spiritually. Our programming operates community centers and residential facilities throughout the Philadelphia region, offering shelter, hot meals, counseling, early childhood development, recreational opportunities, music programs, after-school arts and educational programs, job training, activities for older adults, anti-human trafficking programs, spiritual development, and drug rehabilitation.  The Salvation Army continually strives to be a beacon of hope for thousands of individuals and families throughout Greater Philadelphia- enriching and transforming lives of those in the greatest of need.
