About Us

History

The Salvation Army was originated in London in 1865 by William Booth.  Today, The Salvation Army continues to share the Good News while 'doing the most good' to meet the needs of the hungry, the homeless, and the hopeless.  Its ministry touches millions of lives everyday.

The Army's work in the United States started in 1879 and came to Chattanooga in 1893.  The Chattanooga Salvation Army offers social services to meet emergency and disaster-related needs, spiritual outreach for all ages, character-building youth programs, and holiday assistance to provide necessities and bring joy to many.

The Army is supported and held accountable by an Advisory Board of businesspersons and other outstanding citizens who share their vision and leadership in helping address community concerns.

Hundreds of Volunteers each year offer partnership to make a positive difference in the lives of the less fortunate in our community.  We hope you will consider "Being a Shield" by joining us in our efforts to bring hope and relief to the poor, downtrodden, and those who find themselves in crisis situations.

Thank you.
