Welcome Home!
The Salvation Army offers safe shelter and supportive services to families who are experiencing homelessness. Many of the families we serve are survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, and in recovery from substance use disorder. With support, families make positive change in their lives and achieve self-sufficiency, thus breaking the cycle of homelessness.
A New Beginning For A Family In Need!
Homeless families with children come to The Salvation Army with so little. With your help, they will be able to live in comfortable, safe apartments where they can find stability, security and hope while they transform their lives.
“I feel so blessed. My children and I were living in my cousin’s car. When we saw the apartment, we all cried! It means so much to finally feel safe and comfortable.”
~Tracy, Transitional Living Center Resident
How You Can Help
Each apartment will need items such as towels, linens, kitchen items and cleaning supplies so they can have a fresh start. To make your shopping easier, a list of the needed items and approximate costs is listed below. You can purchase items online through our Amazon Wishlist, or make a monetary donation and we’ll do the shopping for you! Either way, your contribution will assist us in welcoming a family into their new home and help them get back on their feet.
WELCOME HOME! Necessities
These are the items every new family needs as they move into a unit. Help us welcome a new family by providing one, two or all of the baskets! You may also shop using the Amazon Wishlist and have items delivered directly to the Door of Hope by visiting www.salarmy.us/WelcomeHome, or contact Director Amy Vance at 858-505-3947.
