The Salvation Army - Intermountain Division

Wherever hope fails, wherever families are broken, wherever hunger prowls, wherever children are forgotten, we are there.

Together, we can make a real difference for those in need.

Each year, The Salvation Army faces growing challenges—and the need for our services continues to rise. This year is no different. Across Colorado, we remain on the front lines of the homelessness crisis, having provided 742,097 nights of shelter during the past year and served more than 1.6 million meals. We proudly helped 232 men regain sobriety in our Harbor Light Center recovery program for which 82% of graduates maintain sobriety and stability. We provide wraparound services that help individuals and families with essential needs and to secure permanent housing or overcome addiction. And we come alongside people with the long-term support needed to regain independence. 

As the holiday season approaches, we are committed to ensuring it's a time of hope and joy for families in need. Last year, thanks to our Angel Tree toy drive programs, we distributed more than 58,000 toys to children across our communities and served thousands of holiday meals - all thanks to the support of people like you!

This Colorado Gives Day, please help us make the holidays feel like home for the struggling families who need us most.

Since 1887, The Salvation Army has been meeting the needs of the fallen, broken, hungry, and forgotten.

Testimonials

Denver Harbor Light Testimony: “I was lost, broken by addiction, and didn’t see a way forward. The Denver Harbor Light Center became my lifeline — a place of safety, hope, and unconditional support. The staff and programs helped me find strength I didn’t know I had, rebuild my life, and believe in a future again. Today, I feel alive, whole, and full of purpose — all because someone cared enough to give me a second chance.”

Aurora Corps Testimony:  "Before finding The Salvation Army, I felt like I was in a dark hole hopeless and alone, with no family or friends. I have a 7-year-old son with autism, and three years ago, we faced immense struggles, including homelessness and my battle with substance abuse. When I found The Salvation Army, I discovered hope, love, and a true sense of family. They provided a roof over our heads, helped with our housing deposit and first year’s rent, and provided food and cleaning supplies. Most importantly, they supported me in overcoming my substance abuse. Today, I am a licensed CNA and pursuing a degree in behavioral health. The Salvation Army helped me build confidence and showed me I am not alone. Every Sunday morning, when I drive up to my Salvation Army church, I feel a deep sense of belonging and gratitude for what God has done through them in my life."

Vail Valley Testimony: “As a 25-year member of this community, I’ve supported The Salvation Army through events like the golf tournament and bell ringing. I never imagined I would one day need their help. When the economy shifted and my business failed, I lost my job, my insurance, and the ability to pay even basic bills. Then my wife became seriously ill, and our savings disappeared overnight. Someone encouraged us to reach out to The Salvation Army, and although I was hesitant, I found a caring team ready to listen and guide us. They connected us with local resources and support we didn’t know existed. Our challenges aren’t over, but thanks to their compassion, I feel renewed hope.”

Colorado Springs Testimony: “My son and I had nowhere to go. The Salvation Army gave us more than a roof — they gave us family, faith, and HOPE. After a difficult divorce, job instability, and depression, we were forced to move with nowhere to land. I felt like I had failed my son. But The Salvation Army welcomed us with warmth and dignity, giving us a safe place to rebuild. As we move into permanent housing, we’re leaving stronger and more hopeful. The Family Hope Center gave us more than shelter — it gave us a fresh start.”
