About:
The Salvation Army provides services to those in need, including emergency social service programs, after-school programs, and disaster relief.
Mission
To help without discrimination the "poorest of the poor"--the hungry, homeless and indigent who have nowhere to turn and often suffer alone because of societal indifference or disdain.
Our Partnership
Mobilizing Volunteers
Currently, our volunteers serve at three Salvation Army locations in Manhattan: NY Temple, where Redeemer Downtown meets on Sundays, Manhattan Citadel in Harlem, and Times Square.
Making Grants To Fund Programs
Our grant funds support youth dance, drama and music classes at the Times Square Performing Arts Institute for youth.
Training And Consulting
The Salvation Army Emergency Services lent their expertise on the 1 year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, leading a workshop on Disaster Preparation for HFNY Affiliates.

This year I met a young woman named Alison who used to sleep on the steps of this building. She refused shelter, insisting that she felt safest on these steps. She spent most of her time completely drunk. We told her every day that Jesus loves her, and that He has more for her life than alcoholism and abuse. We would give her blankets, shoes, and food, and she began to come to our Sunday church services. Last November, Alison finally enrolled in a Salvation Army drug rehabilitation program, and today she is sober, working, loving Jesus, and learning to serve others in His name.

God, so many of us are hurting. Our city and our neighborhoods need you. We pray, Lord, for the over 60,000 New Yorkers who are without homes. We lament the fact that we have been slow to love our neighbor as you call us to.

Together with Rescue Alliance, we host Don’t Walk By every year in February, the coldest winter month. In 2022, we will still continue our annual winter outreach, but with three significant changes.
