Feeding the Hungry

Feeding the Hungry

Salvation Army units across the Southwest provide emergency food boxes, congregate meals, holiday meals, and home delivered meals to our hungry neighbors.

The Salvation Army Roswell Corps Community Center in Roswell, New Mexico, operates an impressive emergency food bank of nearly 22,000 square feet.
- The food bank averages a monthly emergency distribution of nearly 4,000 food boxes per month, in part via a collaboration with the state of New Mexico and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, led by the Army.
- The Corps also delivers meals to area homeless three times per week.
Salvation Army Corps Community Centers in Hobbs, New Mexico, and Chandler and Prescott, Arizona, offer “client choice” food pantries, designed to help people develop healthier food decisions and better resource-management skills. In a safe, sanitized, and socially-distanced setting, the pantries give shoppers the dignity of choosing foods they like, rather than getting a prepackaged food box with items they may not use or know how to prepare.
In Sierra Vista, Arizona, The Salvation Army partners with the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona for contactless, drive-thru food box distributions four times a month and brings food, pet food, clothing, books, and more to the Palominos area monthly, aiding almost 70 families in a very rural community where many do not have transportation to get to services.
The Salvation Army Sierra Vista offers an immensely popular kids culinary arts program that teaches youngsters how to make healthy, nutritional meals on their own, which helps them continue those good habits to be successful physically, socially, academically, and emotionally.
Salad & Go has donated ingredients for more than 40,000 salads to The Salvation Army since
the beginning of the pandemic – salads that are prepared and delivered by Salvation Army volunteers.
The Salvation Army Owens Campus in Las Vegas serves nearly 600 meals daily, and throughout Southern Nevada, The Salvation Army provided nearly 27,000 food boxes to neighbors in need in 2021.
Tens of thousands of holiday meals are served annually to hungry people and families across the Southwest Division.
