We seek to help people with immediate needs while aiming for long- term solutions that change lives. "Doing The Most Good." In these four words, our mission - to feed, to clothe, to comfort, to care. To rebuild broken homes and broken lives. By walking with the addicted, we can lead them to recovery. In fighting hunger and poverty, we can feed and nurture the spirit. And, in living and sharing the Christian Gospel by meeting tangible needs, we give the world a lasting display of the love behind our beliefs. The Salvation Army in Columbia, Missouri operates a Corps (community and worship center), The Salvation Army Harbor House (our homeless shelter for men, women, and families with children), and two Thrift Stores (23 E. Walnut & 1304 Parkede Blvd) We have several programs that include food distribution, disaster relief, Pathway of Hope and others. Our work is funded through kettle donations, corporate and individual contributions, grants, and the sale of goods donated to our Salvation Army Family Stores. Eighty-six cents of every dollar returns to our programs. We are a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, and contributions are deductible for Federal Income Tax Purposes to the extent permitted under Section 170(b)(2) for corporations.
