About Belkin Communities of Hope

A Christ-centered community embracing diversity in meeting human needs.

Who we are

The Salvation Army Belkin Communities of Hope strives to be a safe space for healing, support and transformation. We serve a diverse population, meeting many from all walks of life. In times of unimaginable hardships, susceptibility to losing hope and feeling despair is incredibly pervasive, especially for those without a community of support. Our goal is to empower those who are wrestling with hopelessness—to support the rebuilding of their lives in a community that is grounded in hope, faith and compassion.
