The Salvation Army- El Cajon

About Us

The Salvation Army has been in El Cajon since 1975 and has been caring for the people of our community and bringing hope and stability to thousands of families. As the San Diego East County continues to grow, so does The Salvation Army's commitment to care for those in need. The Salvation Army is uniquely positioned to create new programs and continues to tailor existing programs so that they match the needs of the community. I invite you to explore this website to see what The Salvation Army is doing and how you can be part of this great work.

The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.

''While women weep, as they do now, I’ll fight; while little children go hungry, as they do now, I’ll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I’ll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I’ll fight-I’ll fight to the very end!'' -General William Booth
