Social Services

Since the late 1800s, The Salvation Army has actively reached out to thousands of Western Pennsylvania residents annually.

The basic social services developed by the founders, William and Catherine Booth, have remained an outward visible expression of the Army's strong religious principles. We seek to be adequate and adaptive, helping anyone, anywhere, anytime!
