During the Thanksgiving and Christmas Season we coordinate with several community partners to provide food for those in need. The Angel Tree/Senior Tree program provides gifts to local children and senior citizens.

Each summer a true camping experience is available for local children to go to Lake Grandview for 7 days. This camp is provided completely free to the families.

HISTORY
William Booth began The Salvation Army in 1865 as a means to help the suffering souls throughout London who were not willing to attend - or even welcomed into a traditional church. Though General Booth died in 1912, he laid a firm foundation for the lifesaving work that The Salvation Army continues to perform today in over 100 countries.
