By providing programs that serve the body, mind and soul, The Salvation Army helps alleviate the symptoms of poverty - and works to address the root issues that cause it.
The Salvation Army is actively working in Pueblo to feed, assist and equip those in need.
Poverty is so often the result of and the catalyst for chronic struggles with hunger, addiction, housing insecurity, mental illness, unemployment, educational voids and various forms of abuse. These interconnected struggles continue year after year, and often span generations. That's why The Salvation Army works to meet the needs of the whole person through short and long-term assistance first alleviating the symptoms of poverty and then addressing the root issues that cause it.
Meal Assistance
Many families and individuals facing poverty often must make the painful choice between heating and eating - that is, they must decide whether they'll pay their bills or pay for food. Without sufficient funds, many are forced to go without a warm, nutritious meal in order to keep a roof over their head.
Our food pantry is open Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Rental and Utility Assistance
We help struggling families and individuals avoid falling into the cycle of crisis by supplementing their income with utility and rental payments. This assistance often becomes the difference between shelter and eviction, between maintaining honest work and selling drugs or services for money, and between keeping kids in one place and moving them out of their home and onto the streets. Please call on Mondays to schedule an appointment.
Pathway of Hope
In addition to our standard immediate assistance, The Salvation Army offers Pathway of Hope. This is a program that provides classes for cooking, shopping on a budget, financial management, and employment assistance to help break the cycle that leads people back to The Salvation Army for help. Seasonal Assistance: Seasonal assistance can consist of help with school supplies for the beginning of the school year, Winter Coat giveaway, Thanksgiving Dinner delivery for homebound community members and Christmas food boxes, and toys for children in need at Christmas.
