Service Extensions

A Food Pantry Worker is one who volunteers to helps organize and stock the shelves of the Corps pantry with food, which may include: shopping, loading and unloading, stacking food in boxes or on shelves while tracking expiration dates of the pantry inventory.

The Salvation Army Service Extension Department provides emergency assistance to residents throughout the rural areas in St. Louis and Illinois. The goal is to provide supportive assistance to people during crisis situations and to identify other community resources which are available to provide additional help. Emphasis is placed on building an individual’s capacity to solve problems (long term solutions), not just provide services (short term solutions).A service unit is an extension of The Salvation Army that functions in communities without Salvation Army building-centered programs, directed by a local Salvation Army officer. 

A unit consists of volunteers from the community who have organized to assist The Salvation Army with its religious and charitable activities and we need your help!

*Note - Locations will vary according to units.
