Salvation Army of Mcallen

South TX Area:


Salvation Army of McAllen


The Salvation Army is committed to “Doing The Most Good” supported by donors and partners who share a desire to help our neighbors in need. When hard times hit, we’re here to help meet all of the basic needs—whether it’s a bag of groceries, a hot meal, or assistance paying rent. Providing care and aid for those living on the fringes of society is at the heart of The Salvation Army’s mission.
