The Center of Hope: Where Good Begins

Serving the needs of the whole person - body and soul. This is the commitment of The Salvation Army as we look to the future and to our new Center of Hope. Much more than a larger building, the 41,000 square foot Center of Hope will serve as the physical and spiritual center of The Salvation Army's service to the needy.

With a shelter for women and children that will offer twice the current bed space, the Center of Hope is designed around private family rooms, each with its own bath. The new Center will also offer a state-of-the-art computer lab, library and resource center, age appropriate care centers for children, a chapel and prayer room, private therapy rooms and much more. And as the local demand for crisis assistance grows, the expanded Center of Hope will be able to serve more of the hungry through a modern commercial kitchen, larger dinning hall and more than double the food pantry space. A playground, open air recreational field and nature trail will be set amid the four-acre campus, giving children the opportunity to run and play safely. The Center of Hope will also dedicate more than 5,000 square feet of collaborative space for basic education and life skills courses, parenting classes, substance abuse counseling, Circle of Support meetings and other services to provide residents with a solid foundation for the future.

The Center of Hope will be a new foundation upon which our programs and services can be built...A Foundation for Good.
