Founded In 1852
For more than a century, The Salvation Army has been part of the Green Bay community, standing as a steady source of hope and practical help. What began as a small local outreach inspired by the global mission of The Salvation Army has grown into a vital ministry meeting thousands of needs each year.
Through the years, we’ve seen God’s faithfulness at work—whether it’s a single mom finding relief through our food pantry, or a guest who came for a meal and found encouragement to rebuild his life. Every story reminds us why we’re here: to serve without judgment, to love without condition, and to help restore dignity to those facing hard times.
