The Salvation Army Newark Area Services The Salvation Army Newark Area Services serves Newark and Essex County. In all of these arenas of service, we strive to offer a hand up, not a hand out.

The men and women of The Salvation Army have proudly served the people of Essex County for over 100 years. Throughout those years, our services and programs changed to better serve the changing needs of our communities. The same compassion and dedication brought to the Newark and the Essex County area by the founders, is still the standard in all we do. Each of our services address the challenges faced by the working poor, single parents and families due to aging, hunger, drug abuse, HIV/AIDS, homelessness and incarceration. As The Salvation Army always strives to keep its finger on the pulse of the community, we are consistently updating our programs to address what is happening and what is necessary to help those that are the most in need. Make our programs more comprehensive and capable of serving those facing special challenges in their lives - Join us. You may volunteer in any of our programs, donate items or funds, or make special financial provisions through a bequest, annuity or endowment. Major Jonathan Jackson
Newark Area Services Coordinator

We join the wider community in prayer for the Bamford family. We reflect on a life lived in service to others and an example of the Lord she loved.

It is with heavy hearts we announce that Commissioner Lorraine Bamford has been Promoted to Glory.

We thank God for her faithful service, steadfast commitment to His calling, and the lasting impact of her ministry within The Salvation Army.

Our prayers are with her family, friends, and the many lives she touched throughout her years of service.

May we find comfort in the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ, and may her legacy of faithfulness continue to inspire generations to come.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” Matthew 25:23a
