School may pause for summer, but learning doesn’t have to. Summer doesn’t need to be a season where kids fall behind. ☀️📉

At The Salvation Army, we want summer to be a season where your children leap forward. And we are committed to this statement!

From Summer Sleepaway Camps for a week-long immersive experience that encourages independence and lasting memories, to youth programs and summer music conservatories, The Salvation Army gives children and teenagers a place to learn, play, explore, and stay rooted in community.

We help young minds stay bright.✨

Be sure you follow our new Thrift Store page! After months of being shut down we finally have a new one up. Follow and keep track of great deals and news 😃

Welcome to SATS on 5th! We want to thank our incredible community for your generous donations and all of your purchases supporting our family thrift store. Because of you, we are able to provide food, shelter, clothing and so much more to those in need.

Summer heat doesn’t affect everyone the same way, and extreme heat puts our most vulnerable neighbors at risk.

A broken AC, a home without shade, a night without relief can turn a heatwave into a crisis.

That’s why this season matters, and The Salvation Army is stepping in to offer cool spaces, utility bill assistance and support for neighbors who need help staying safe this summer. ☀️

Reach out locally if you need assistance or if you can lend a hand. ✨

🍩 The Salvation Army Lassies stepped onto the front lines of WWI with one mission: bring comfort where it was most needed.

A warm donut became a reminder that someone cared, and that one act of love has rippled through generations.

Today, hundreds of families across our community find comfort, support, and hope through The Salvation Army.

🍩National Donut Day celebrates kindness that still changes lives.

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every individual and business that contributed to the success of our fundraiser this past Saturday! A special thank-you goes to WVU Parkersburg for generously allowing us to use their beautiful campus as our venue. We truly appreciate their support in providing staff for security, venue coordination by letting us use their facilities, providing chairs, and the janitorial staff for cleanup. Your efforts made everything run smoothly!
We also want to express our sincere thanks to Topnotch Wrestling Alliance for hosting their exciting wrestling show as part of our 1st annual Red Shield Rumble. Their participation and planning of this fundraiser and putting on a great show really made this an excellent fundraising event! We are incredibly grateful to all the generous donors who contributed to our silent auction.

National research shows that summer camp strengthens confidence, independence, empathy, and meaningful friendships. Those outcomes matter for children. They also matter to families.

For working parents in Potomac, summer camp provides safe, structured care during long workdays. For children, it provides growth, connection, and leadership development.

Your support helps make both possible!

Summer Camps through the Salvation Army are offered free of charge so that financial barriers do not prevent access to opportunity or stability.

This American Camp Week, invest in the next generation and the families who are raising them at https://tinyurl.com/potomac-camp. ☀️♥️
