We love because he first loved us
For thousands of families in the Silicon Valley, hope is just a phone call away.
Although Santa Clara County has the highest median household income of all Bay Area counties, 30 percent of families and 65 percent of single mothers are considered below poverty by the California Self-Sufficiency Standard (SSS), which includes the costs of basic needs for California’s working families. In fact, in Santa Clara County the top income families earn almost 16.4 times more than low-income families, and twenty percent of children across the Bay Area currently live in poverty.
We recognize the importance of serving families in our community. That's why we provide fresh groceries, subsidize transportation costs, and help pay rent and deposits for families in need.
"They always understand our situation"
"If it was not for The Salvation Army of Silicon Valley, my sister and I would not be able to provide the basic needs for our children. It is so good to know that when things are tough financially, we can go to The Salvation Army and receive help. They always understand our situation, give support, and provide for our needs both physically and emotionally."
We help families throughout Silicon Valley through these important programs:
