The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army is an international organization that strives to meet human needs wherever, whenever, and however they can. Working on a local and regional level, this can include housing and rental assistance, food pantries, youth and after-school programs, disaster relief, helping families break the cycle of poverty, and so much more.

Our local Salvation Army Centers in Davenport, Moline, Muscatine, and Clinton provide a variety of these social services. The need for these services has grown substantially since the start of 2020 due to pandemic poverty. Those who were already receiving assistance had greater need, and many of those who were making ends meet were suddenly facing new, unexpected challenges.

Whether you want to find out how you can help or need more information for services to utilize for you and your family, we encourage you to learn about the programs, services, and needs of the Salvation Army in our local community. We’re looking forward to doing good together.

Pathway of Hope

The Salvation Army’s Pathway of Hope program provides targeted services to families that want to break the generational cycle of poverty. The program focuses on the family’s individual needs and provides assistance and guidance on different life skills by using the programs and services the Salvation Army provides.

Children who live in poverty for half of their lives are more likely to remain in poverty as adults. By positively changing the lives of parents and focusing on the core causes of poverty, Pathway of Hope provides better living conditions for children. In turn, this provides a better environment for children to succeed. Pathway of Hope aims to move families from vulnerability, to stability, and eventually self-sufficiency.
