The Salvation Army has served the whole of Washtenaw County for more than 100 years. Our essential services include a food pantry, soup kitchen, clothing, a family shelter, transitional housing and counseling for veterans, character building for youth, camp programs, emergency and disaster relief, utility assistance, and eviction prevention.
Each day we need to ask ourselves, "Are we doing the most good? For ourselves? For others around us? For those in great need"? You may fill this need through volunteering or donations. Here are some ideas on how you can make someone else feel good, by you doing the most good!
