Author and management expert, Peter Drucker, identified The Salvation Army as, “by far the most effective organization in the United States.” All charitable donations are invested in the lives of men, women and children Members of the 174th Fighter Wing volunteer on Drop Off Day in our community.

We work hard to identify resources available to support our work in this community. Many of our services are funded through government grants and contracts. You may not know this, but every $1 we receive helps us secure up to an additional $3 worth of donated supplies and governement grants to help the people we serve. That means your gift will have an even greater impact!

Donations of non-perishable food items can be used at our food pantry, which is open 5 days a week.

Donations of used clothing, furniture and other household items may be made to The Salvation Army Thrift Stores. Call 315-445-0520 to hear donation times or to schedule a pickup of donated items.
