The Salvation Army
About
The Salvation Army in Quincy is a church and community service center working wherever there is need in the city. It offers social services, holiday assistance that helps children experience the joy of Christmas morning, and year-round programs that help kids in low-income communities thrive. Worship is part of its identity as well, since The Salvation Army is at heart a church that aims to meet both physical and spiritual needs.
Officers lead the Quincy corps, assessing community needs, delivering programs and directing ministries, and they effectively serve as both executive directors and pastors. The broader organization was founded in London in 1865 by William Booth, who described its mission as soup, soap and salvation. Locally, the corps focuses on breaking the cycle of poverty, and it invites residents to support its work through donations, volunteering and seasonal events tied to the giving season.
