What We Do
The Salvation Army in San Francisco has been serving the needs of its community for over 130 years.
So Much More Than A Thrift Store
Sure. We'll always be your "go-to" for those furniture bargains, Instagram-worthy vintage finds, or that ridiculous ensemble for the o ffice costume party.
But, when the going gets tough, The Salvation Army is there as a go-to for help: hunger, shelter, vocational training, drug and alcohol detox and treatment, rental assistance, utility bill help, and much more. Plus, we provide after-school and tutoring programs, recreational programs, music instruction, nutritional classes, child care, housing options and other services to help individuals and families thrive within the Bay Area. So while the thrift stores may be the most visible part of brand, there's a huge Army—including supporters like you—behind the scenes caring for the most vulnerable among us.
