Together with the support of our community, we bring help and hope to families when they need it most. For more than 99 years The Salvation Army in Lakeland has been a beacon of hope and spiritual encouragement to families throughout Polk County. The Salvation Army Advisory board has taken a visionary step in building a Community of Hope, an innovative project where struggling families can overcome homelessness and rebuild their lives. This bold initiative created a campus where quality programming can be provided in a safe, encouraging neighborhood to assist families who face the crisis of homelessness. This new community provides holistic solutions for meeting the physical, social, educational, and spiritual needs of each family.
