...For I was hungry and you gave Me food;
I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a
stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and
you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me;
I was in prison and you came to Me.'

For more than 100 years, The Salvation Army
has been faithfully serving the citizens of
Texas. As we continue into the 21st century,
we remain committed to helping our neighbors
in need, while spreading the love of Jesus Christ.
We are deeply committed to
meeting the needs of those around us. Our commitment
to service is driven by five core values:
Passion-
Our mission is to preach the Gospel of Jesus
Christ and to meet human needs in His name without
discrimination.
Compassion-
Caring for the poor. Feeding the hungry. Clothing
the naked. Loving the unlovable. Befriending
the friendless.
Bravery-
Going into places others prefer to avoid: impoverished
neighborhoods, jails and prisons, hospital rooms
and nursing homes and the immediate scene of
disasters.
Uplifting-
We serve as a place of hope. When every other
light is extinguished and every other star has
gone down, this one gleam shines steadily and
clearly out in the darkened sky: "If I
could only get to The Salvation Army, they will
do something for me."
Trustworthiness-
For those who want to positively affect their
world, The Salvation Army is the charity that
maximizes contributions by using 83 cents of
every dollar* donated to provide direct services
to the less fortunate.
Today, in Texas, we have more
than 155 Officers, all of whom are ordained
ministers, 1,600 employees and thousands of
volunteers all committed to furthering the mission
of The Salvation Army and helping those in need.
