The Salvation Army's Operations in Blount County Have Been Helping to Meet the Needs of the Community for Over Ten Years.
We believe that love is a verb, and best demonstrated by the example of Jesus Christ. So inspired, we look to find ways to partner and cooperate with our neighbors to respond best to needs in our community.
Summer Camp
Every summer, The Salvation Army sends children to its camp in Burkesville, KY to enjoy a week of fun and challenge at a Christian camp.
Friday Free Food and Fellowship
Generously hosted by Broadway United Methodist Church (located at 309 E. Broadway), we provide free lunch every Friday. Everyone is welcome!
Angel Tree
Each year, we provide Christmas assistance to children from families with low incomes or a recent financial challenge. Parents and guardians register early and receive clothes and toys for children, aged up to 17. We also provide Christmas assistance to seniors and vulnerable adults with low income, as part of our Silver Bells initiative. This year, we will provide Christmas gifts to over 450 children and vulnerable adults.
