Poverty doesn't have to be permanent. The Salvation Army helps those in need to overcome poverty through a variety of programs.

Meal Assistance
Many families and individuals facing poverty often must make the painful choice heating and eating - that is, they must decide whether they'll pay their bills or pay for food. Without sufficient funds, many are forced to go without a warm, nutritious meal in order to keep a roof over their head.

Pathway of Hope
As part of our comprehensive and holistic approach to helping families move away from inter-generational poverty and towards stability and success, The Salvation Army of Yakima Valley offers Pathway of Hope.  A 12-month case management program designed to throw the full force of Salvation Army programming and services, as well as those of our partner organizations in support of a family to meet their desired quality of life goals.
