Service Units

A committee of volunteers organized in communities where no Salvation Army Corps exists

Who We Are

A Network of Volunteers Throughout Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia.

The Salvation Army provides services to every zip code in the United States and works 365 days a year to fulfill its promise to do the most good for the most people in the most need. The Salvation Army does not have a corps community center in every town and village throughout the Division, but we do have faithful volunteers hard at work in these communities. Organized as “Service Units” in 24 counties across the Potomac Division, devoted volunteers provide emergency assistance to neighbors in need. 

They wear no uniform  . . . They are a volunteer militia . . . They are the Army behind the Army.

How We Help

The extension of service offered by The Salvation Army Service Unit volunteers is important to the communities they serve and indeed makes an impact to those in need.  

Service Unit volunteers provide emergency financial assistance to individuals and families in financial crisis.  Assistance may be provided for food, clothing, furniture, rent, and utilities. Seasonal assistance may include summer camp for children, back-to-school backpacks and supplies, and Christmas food baskets and gifts for children. Our volunteers receive specialized training to prepare them to work collaboratively with local agencies to utilize funding entrusted to them to assist those in need in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
