The Salvation Army feeds an average of 156,000 every single day in the U.S.
Homelessness exists even in paradise. Many of Hawaii’s homeless find themselves around the islands’ beaches, parks, and other places where they can find refuge. The Salvation Army aids families who are in this daunting situation. We provide hot meals through our soup kitchens, deliver food bags, clothing, and where appropriate -- health, physical and substance abuse counseling.
