The Salvation Army-St. Cloud

Local programs and services that are provided by the St. Cloud Salvation Army include a food shelf, a community lunch program, rental assistance, HeatShare (a program to help with utility assistance), Nutrition Education classes, free eyeglasses program thru Shopko, Back to School drive, Christmas programs, and an emergency shelter. Volunteers are used for most of these programs. Without them, we could not provide all the services that we do. Our volunteer opportunities offer our friends and neighbors a wonderful learning experience and also a very fulfilling experience.

The Salvation Army in St. Cloud, in accordance with the greater Mission of The Salvation Army, and motivated by the same principles, has as its purpose the relief of those individuals in St. Cloud who find themselves in need of assistance. Whether this need is in the area of spiritual counseling, emergency food, shelter or clothing, it will be disseminated without regard to an individual's race, color, creed, sex, age or religion. Recognizing that it would be impossible for one agency or organization to meet all of the needs of all individuals, The Salvation Army will coordinate with other organizations for the greater good of the individual. The Salvation Army first came to the St. Cloud area in 1896. We have steadily grown and we currently help those in need in our Tri-County area. Our shelter is open at our new location (400 Hwy 10 S) and we hope to open our community center there in the near future.
