In addition to food, shelter, first-responder support and virtual worship, the Salvation Army has launched its first nationwide hotline to provide emotional and spiritual care to anyone impacted by the coronavirus crisis.
The hotline comes in response to the rising levels of anxiety, uncertainty and fear resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you would like spiritual guidance or local services, or if you just need someone to talk with, Salvation Army officers, who are pastors and emotional-care personnel, are there to listen.
The phone number is 844-458-HOPE (4673). Staff members are available from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (CST). Counselors speak English and Spanish, and callers are encouraged to leave a message if they call after hours.
The Salvation Army is the nation’s largest social services organization with a presence in almost every zip code in America. If you or someone you know is in need of assistance, visit salvationarmyusa.org to find your local Salvation Army service center.
