You may know one of our programs - but do you know

You may know one of our programs - but do you know all of them? The Salvation Army is an international movement meeting human needs without discrimination. What does that look like in Central Virginia? Locally, we serve individuals and families most in need through our Boys & Girls Club programming, emergency shelter, Angel Tree Christmas assistance, rent and utility assistance, ministry efforts and our disaster response. #NationalSalvationArmyWeek

That's why The Salvation Army is fighting pandemic poverty nationwide. With your help, we are providing assistance to. those most in need. A monthly gift of $25 can be the difference of a family choosing between buying groceries and paying bills. Visit our website at www.salvationarmycentralva.org to make a donation today.

It’s always a pleasure to see familiar faces of people that have gotten back on their feet again and now want to give back. Former shelter clients Martin and Cody stopped by to say hi and volunteer their help prepping the grounds for summer.

That's a wrap for our Divisional Music and Arts program season! Members from Salvation Army Corps locations throughout our Potomac Division get together once a month to practice before their end-of season recital. Rehearsals were limited this year, but members still gathered several times to provide free music. The season ended with a performance at our annual Youth Councils ministry conference a few weeks ago, then a recording and ice cream party this past weekend!

The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club regularly pro

The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club regularly provides an environment where youth and teens can prosper and develop strong character, educational, emotional and life skills. We want to recognize our volunteer groups that support the growth of our members.

@challenge discovery projects provides tools and resources which improve children’s emotional health and well being. @liveredfoundation encourages healthy lifestyles through fun physical fitness activities. Good News Club provides opportunity for spiritual guidance and fellowship.

Thank you for your dedication to serving youth in our community!

Volunteers at our Emergency Shelter at 2 West Grac

Volunteers at our Emergency Shelter at 2 West Grace Street get to see the immediate benefit of their service to others. Preparing and sharing a meal with shelter residents, providing items to help them transition easily into their home after shelter, spreading hope and joy during a hard season have a lasting impact on volunteers and residents alike. While reduced shelter capacity impacted our shelter volunteer opportunities in 2020, we are still grateful for the organizations and individuals who in some way continued to serve.

We’d also like to give a special thanks to all our volunteers who supported our high risk emergency shelter at R Street at the start of the pandemic. During a time of immense uncertainty and transition, you joined alongside us to serve those most in need without hesitation.

Members of The Richmond Citadel Corps – our loca

Members of The Richmond Citadel Corps – our local ministry program – compassionately give their time and heart to their community. Whether it’s delivering meals to the homeless twice a month, visiting with folks at the McGuire VA Hospital, gathering school supplies or helping with Vacation Bible Study - their heart for serving is unlike any other.

Our Red Kettle Bell Ringers do far more than just

Our Red Kettle Bell Ringers do far more than just ring a bell. Each holiday season, they dedicate time to connect with our community, share what The Salvation Army does, and fundraise on behalf of our year-round programs and services. From our life-long bell ringers, to our online kettle champions, your compassionate dedication enables us to serve thousands of individuals and families and we are immensely grateful.

The Christmas season is a time of year where The Salvation Army brings joy and hope to families who otherwise may not experience the true meaning of Christmas. It would not be possible for us to provide Christmas assistance for thousands of children and seniors without our incredible volunteers.

It isn't often our entire staff can get together, but it's always a blessing. Today staff from our shelter, Boys & Girls Club, Corps and administrative offices all were reunited as a team. Having times for fellowship and collaboration helps us to grow stronger in our mission, and come together to do the most good.

"Everyone hits a bump in the road, but everything happens for a reason. And God sent us this way."

After the pandemic started, Mr. Hill lost his job, and soon his son's school closed. With bills piling up and no income, they soon lost their home and were sleeping on the streets.

After weeks of uncertainty, they were placed at The Salvation Army's Emergency Shelter. With a safe place to stay and dedicated case management, Mr. Hill regained employment. He is able to bring his son to work while he does his schooling virtually. The father and son have now moved into their own apartment and are at peace once again.

Happy Easter from all of us here at The Salvation
