With the assistance of community partners, just like you, The Salvation Army of Wake County is able to serve over 70,000 individuals in need each year! At the most foundational levels of human needs, we start by providing food and shelter to those who are hunger and experiencing homelessness. Our Center of Hope campus located on Capital Blvd operates Wake County's largest emergency family shelter, a community kitchen to provide anyone in need with an evening meal, a food pantry for those who are housed but finding it difficult to keep adequate food on their family's table, and Crisis Services for clothing and other ancillary needs. We operate Project CATCH targeting the needs of children experiencing homelessness in Wake County as well as educational services for organizations around the State, and Circle of Parents a peer-led, professionally facilitated program offering access to direct services, advocacy and parenting skills to parents experiencing homelessness. We work to interrupt the cycle of human and labor trafficking through our program Project FIGHT. Our seasonal programs also support the needs of families and include a fan giveaway in the summer, a coats giveaway in the winter, the Angel Tree that brings Christmas joy to over 7,000 children each year, and a small number of thanksgiving food baskets as our supplies last.
We have a Thrift Store that assists with both raising funds to support our programs and assistance to those in need of our crisis closet services.
Our campus at 902 Wake Forest Rd provides afterschool care, year-round athletic programs, seniors' programs, summer away camp, summer day camp, and our Salvation Army Church with many activities for bible study and community/social engagement.
The Salvation Army of Wake County is also an Emergency Disaster Services provider - ready to deploy for national, regional, state and local needs.
