The Salvation Army Centre of Hope Abbotsford

Welcome to the website of The Salvation Army Centre of Hope in Abbotsford, British Columbia. We offer services for people who are experiencing challenges with the basic necessities of daily living. As you browse the pages describing our various ministries, you will discover what we do and why we are so passionate about our work. You may even find ways you want to get involved and make a difference in our community.

This is a ministry of The Salvation Army Cascade Community Church. Here we put into practice what we preach:

The Salvation Army exists to share the love of Jesus Christ, meet human needs, and be a transforming influence in the communities of our world.

We are here to minister to the poor, the homeless, the addicted, the hungry, the lonely, and the forgotten. We make it our concern to feed them, care for them, and help them find the path to wholeness. We want to tell people about the love of God, but we know they can’t hear the message if they are hungry and hurting.

Mr. Tom Skidmore, the former Chairman of the Vancouver Circle of Caring Campaign and an esteemed member of the Vancouver Advisory Board states:

“Many people in this world face seemingly insurmountable physical and psychological challenges. Their souls are empty and their hearts are broken. Their world is a daily battle with drugs, loneliness, mental illness, abuse, and rejection. Every individual who enters the doors of The Salvation Army is treated with respect and dignity. They are not judged on what they have done, how unkempt they appear, or how incoherently they speak. When disheartened men and women knock on the doors of The Salvation Army, they retain a glimmer of hope that someone cares. The door opens. They are greeted warmly. For a fleeting moment, they think maybe, just maybe, this time it will be different!”
