Our Purpose

With a mission to meet human need without discrimination, The Salvation Army Chelsea/East Boston Corps has been serving its surrounding community for 131 years. The Chelsea Corps offers life-sustaining services that address basic needs for struggling individuals and families, including food pantry and meal assistance, emergency disaster services, rent and utility assistance, holiday assistance and case management and referrals. We also offer life-enhancing and life-transforming programs that go beyond helping families with basic needs, including character-building programs for children and adults, afterschool programs, and summer camps. Our goal is to help struggling individuals and families by providing basic and emergency services that will address their immediate needs and identify ways in which they can be supported to improve their economic situation and overall wellbeing through our other services, referrals, and additional resources.
