The Salvation Army of Chattanooga

We all need people who lift us up. Church is where we learn to do that together.

A place to grow, to be known, and to lift one another through every season.

At The Salvation Army Chattanooga, we’d love to welcome you this Sunday. Come as you are to our Worship Centers, and leave encouraged.

There’s a place for you here.

🍩 The Salvation Army Lassies stepped onto the front lines of WWI with one mission: bring comfort where it was most needed.

A warm donut became a reminder that someone cared, and that one act of love has rippled through generations.

Today, hundreds of families across The Salvation Army Chattanooga find comfort, support, and hope through our youth programs and social services.

🍩National Donut Day celebrates kindness that still changes lives.

More than a century ago, the “Donut Lassies” entered the WWI huts with hands full of flour, sugar, and the honest intention to lift the spirits of the soldiers who were far from home. Against all odds, that small act of kindness made a lasting difference.

On June 7, 1938, The Salvation Army celebrated National Donut Day for the first time as a fundraiser to support families facing hardship during the Great Depression. A wonderful act that mirrored and honored the legacy of those courageous women.

Today, at The Salvation Army Chattanooga, we carry this purpose forward each day, meeting local needs with love and compassion through our food services 🍽️ and food pantries 🚚.

A simple recipe in action.
A lasting impact.

Because from the very beginning, the first ingredient was love.

As we close out Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, The Salvation Army Chattanooga would like to take this moment to thank all of our AAPI neighbors and community members who dedicate their time to serving our mission.

This includes our staff, volunteers, donors, and church members across Chattanooga.

We are endlessly grateful for all of your meaningful service, and we can’t wait to see what we all do together in the year to come. ❤️

Did you know that The Salvation Army’s summer camps have been around almost as long as The Salvation Army itself?

The first official summer camp was the “Fresh Air Camp” in Kansas City, and the oldest existing camp was established in 1901 in Camp Lake, Wisconsin.

The rest has been history, serving children across the nation and providing them a summer full of fresh air, sunshine, friendship, ministry, and character-building activities. ☀️
