🛹🎉 SKATE & CHILL 2026 – WHAT AN AMAZING DAY! 🎉🛹

Over 600 skateboards given away to the skating community of El Centro! 🙌

What an incredible day of community, music, skating, and fun! The Salvation Army Imperial Valley Corps was blessed to be part of an event that brought so many families, children, and young people together.

Seeing the excitement on the faces of the kids as they received their new skateboards was truly special. But this event was about more than just giving away skateboards. It was about bringing our community together, investing in our youth, and reminding them that they matter.

❤️ A HUGE THANK YOU to all our amazing volunteers, community partners, and agencies who came together to make Skate & Chill possible. Your time, dedication, and willingness to serve made a tremendous difference.

👏 A very special thank you to Councilwoman Sonia Carter, whose support and commitment to our community helped make this event possible. We are incredibly grateful for your leadership and for helping create opportunities that positively impact the young people of El Centro.

We also want to thank the City of El Centro for its partnership and support.

At The Salvation Army Imperial Valley Corps, we believe that when we work together, we can make a lasting impact in the lives of those we serve.

More than 600 skateboards, hundreds of smiles, and one amazing community! 🛹❤️

Thank you, El Centro, for making Skate & Chill such a memorable event!

Doing the Most Good. ❤️

You don’t need us to tell you Southern California has a homelessness crisis. You see it — in your day-to-day, on your commute, across our community. And if you’re like us, you believe no one should be without a safe place to call home.

However, the answer to the crisis is more than just housing. It’s about providing holistic, long-term solutions to the cycle that keeps people on the streets. And at The Salvation Army, that’s what we’re all about.

When you give, your dollars fund critical programs and services that bring real, tangible support to neighbors fighting hard to leave the streets. This doesn’t just offer temporary relief — it offers stability that lasts.
