Angel Tree Program

There are many children on the Mississippi Gulf Coast who will not receive Christmas presents without the help and support of people like yourself.  Here at The Salvation Army, every child who needs Christmas assistance is called an Angel. When you visit a local retailer, you may choose an Angel to “adopt” and purchase new and unused presents to help make their Christmas a little brighter.  Every Angel has suggested gift ideas, but we also encourage you to be creative! Millions of children in America will go without Christmas gifts because their parents can’t afford them. Financial and emotional stress dampen the Christmas cheer of families living in poverty.

Do you need help this year providing your children with gifts?

Visit our Angel Tree webpage for more information.

Toy and Canned Good Drives

The Salvation Army collects donations of new toys and clothes that children of all ages would enjoy. This way, should any children not receive many presents or not get adopted, we always have extra presents to help make their Christmas special. Plus, we always have emergency situations where a family needs help at the last minute.

We also set up canned good locations all across the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

If you would like to become a toy or canned good drive location, please contact 228-374-8301. In Jackson County, please call 228-762-7222.

Food Pantry / Clothing Assistance:

In many locations, The Salvation Army needs volunteers to help distribute the gifts, clothing, and food for holiday meals to the participating families.

For more information on our Social Services we provide visit our webpage.

Oftentimes, employees and family members of the sponsoring organization help distribute their group’s gifts throughout their community. Sign up to volunteer.

Cold Weather Shelter

The Salvation Army provides shelter to anyone in need when it is 40 degrees if precipitation is present, or 35 degrees and below without precipitation.  We take the low wind chill factor into consideration. For more information on our cold weather shelters please visit our webpage.

Our Volunteers are the backbone of the work we do here at the Salvation Army.

We thank the Lord for you giving your time to help others.
