Our Programs
"...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."
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 dark, this one gleam shines steadily and clearly in the darkened sky: "If I can only get to The Salvation Army, they will do something for me."
Trustworthy
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.
