The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination. We have been serving the Longview community since 1931.

For those with no place to go or in need of emergency shelter, The Salvation Army of Longview offers a homeless shelter which provides a warm, safe place for men, women, and families to stay. Intake is daily at 5pm. We also offer a job search program weekly. he Salvation Army of Longview offers rent and utility assistance, as well as a Commodity Closet for those household items and toiletries that can't be purchased with food stamps.
