We believe there maybe older adults or pockets of individuals that need our help. You can be a part of helping them by helping us reach them. If you know someone in need please help by sharing this information or volunteering to help get food to them.

We serve the Boyertown School District, Oley and others. Please see flyer attached below.

There is also a Salvation Army in Pottstown, Reading, Allentown and Hamburg. We do ask because the need is so great you contact The Salvation Army closest to you. This avoids duplication of services and on the cost of gas to reach us.

Food is available today from 2:30pm - 4:30pm and tomorrow 11:30am - 1:30pm

Please send a private message if you have questions.

The Salvation Army began feeding people in 1865 in the East End of London when founders William Booth and Catherine Booth launched their early street-level ministry (initially known as the Christian Mission).

“You cannot warm the hearts of people with God's love if they have an empty stomach
and cold feet."

Grace See Beyond Your Past

People may remember your past, but God can change your future.
Rahab was an outsider with a complicated past. Yet when she heard about the God of Israel, she responded in faith.

Don't count yourself out. And don't count others out, either.
God's grace is still at work.

Hebrews 11:31 (ESV)
By faith Rahab the pr******te did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.

Your past does not have to define your future.

Have you ever wondered if God could still use you after the mistakes you've made?

The beautiful truth of God's grace is that He sees more than our past. He sees the person we can become when we turn to Him in faith.

Rahab's story reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of God's redeeming love.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith…” — Ephesians 2:8 (KJV)

Your past may be part of your story, but it doesn't have to be the end of your story.

Grace has room for you.


Join us this Sunday at 10:00 AM as Captain Betty Ellen shares a message of hope and encouragement from God’s Word. We would love to worship with you!

🙏 Salvation Army Boyertown Corps welcomes new leaders, Captains Derek and Betty Ellen Barrett

The Salvation Army's Boyertown Corps has new Corps Officers. Captains Derek and Betty Ellen Barrett now lead the corps' church, worship services, social service programs, youth ministry and volunteers.

Both have deep roots in the organization. Derek grew up as the son and grandson of Salvation Army officers, and Betty Ellen spent about 12 years in its Service Extension Department after first getting involved through Camp Ladore in the Poconos. They started as envoys in State College in 2014, were commissioned as officers in 2019, and served in Philadelphia's Roxborough Corps and in Pottsville before coming to Boyertown.

The Boyertown Corps serves roughly 26,000 people a year. It runs a soup kitchen on Mondays and Tuesdays, a food pantry on Thursdays and Fridays, and the weekly Club 316 youth program. The Barretts say they want to grow those programs, add things like life-skills classes for kids and teens, and build up the congregation.
