HISTORY OF THE SALVATION ARMY IN TEXAS

The Salvation Army in Texas was started by an Italian Naval Captain named Adam Janelli. There he attended one of the meetings and was so touched by the message that he became one of the most unassuming Salvation Army personalities Texas and the United States have ever known. In 1888, Janelli came to America and settled in Dallas, Texas. One day, the rough citizens of the then frontier town, were startled out of their composure when Janelli, wearing his Salvation Army uniform, took up a position on a downtown street corner and began preaching. People were finding Christ. Eager to get The Salvation Army established in Texas, Janelli would write letters to General William Booth in London asking that Officers be sent to Texas. His letter barrage got so thick that the official word was given, and The Salvation Army of Texas opened in 1889. Janelli gave both material and spiritual help to the poor and homeless, and to the people of Dallas, he became known as “Mr. Salvation Army.” The people of Dallas could not recall a time that they did not see Janelli in his uniform. Many people doubted that he had any other clothes in his possession. Today, The Salvation Army in Texas is thriving through the support of people like you. Currently, in Texas, we have more than 155 Officers; all of whom are ordained ministers; more than 1,600 employees and thousands of volunteers, all committed to furthering the mission of The Salvation Army and helping those in need in Jesus’ name. The Salvation Army in Sherman has been serving the whole of Grayson County since 1941. Services include; worship services, adult and youth programming, financial assistance, Family Thrift store, disaster services, food and clothing assistance and emergency shelter.

Think about the small things that brighten your day: a favorite song, a quick prayer, a neighbor waving from across the street.

Joy isn't accidental, but it's made up of the moments we create, the things we nurture, and the things we offer to the people around us. Sometimes that joy comes in the form of a hot meal, food boxes, or prayer.

On this National Day of Joy, at The Salvation Army, we’re choosing to add little sparks of joy to our day, and pass them along to someone who needs a lift.✨

Happy National Day of Joy! 💛

In a world full of noise, Positive Media Day gives us a chance to focus on what matters: sharing hope, lifting others, and pointing people toward help.

That’s why The Salvation Army uses every communication tool we have: social media, website, and newsletters to reach as many people as possible with messages of encouragement, ways to serve, local updates, volunteer opportunities, and resources for families.

Our channels are here for you! 📰

A father’s love has a way of anchoring a family, offering stability when life feels uncertain and encouragement when the road gets tough. ⚓️

His influence is not limited to one generation, but rather ripples outward, shaping who we become and how we love others.

Today, at The Salvation Army, we honor the dads and father figures who lead with heart and strengthen the families in our community.❤️

Happy Father’s Day from all of us! 👔✨

Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the United States: a day of freedom long delayed, and a reminder of the generations who endured unimaginable injustice.

It is a time to remember, honor, and reflect on the lives, stories, and courage of those who fought for liberation.

But Juneteenth also calls us to look honestly at the present, because while slavery was legally abolished, exploitation and modern slavery still exist today, affecting vulnerable individuals and communities across our nation.

The Salvation Army continues that fight today through our anti‑human trafficking programs, walking alongside survivors with love, safety, dignity, compassion, and hope.

We believe honoring the past means choosing how we live today, supporting one another, extending grace, treating every person with respect, and serving in ways that protect freedom and uphold humanity.

Jesus didn’t wait for people to come to Him; He went to them and met them in their need with presence, compassion, and hope.

That’s the heart of volunteering with The Salvation Army. Whether you’re packing food boxes, mentoring a child, praying with a neighbor, or offering a warm smile at the door, you’re living out Jesus' love in real time.

When you volunteer with The Salvation Army, you become the hands and feet of Jesus, showing His love in practical, everyday ways that change lives. ✨

If you feel called to serve your neighbors, we’d be honored to serve alongside you. 🙏

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 Day Camp for daytime adventures to 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.✨

There’s something admirable about the World Cup ⚽. How is it that one game has the power to bring thousands of people together, cheering with one voice? 📣

Giving creates the same sense of unity, as one act of kindness impacts an entire community and lifts up neighbors in need, regardless of their language or background. That’s something worth cheering!

You can support the mission and give in the way that feels right to you.

This season, join the team that gives with joy and let your generosity turn it into something that brings real transformation in the lives of our neighbors.

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, or a night without relief can turn a heat wave into a crisis.

That’s why this season matters, and The Salvation Army is stepping in to offer cool spaces, water, 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. ✨

We all need people who lift us up. Church is where we learn to do that together.

It's a place to grow, be known, and lift one another up through every season.

At The Salvation Army, we’d love to welcome you this Sunday. Come as you are to our worship centers, and leave encouraged.

There’s a place for you here.
