Waco Needs Hope
The most vulnerable people of Waco and McLennan County need to be supported with God’s love. For over 130 years, The Salvation Army has done just that.
We must meet the complex needs of those facing homelessness today with the same compassionate Salvation Army care we’ve provided for over a century in Waco.
We did a study in 2019 with Baylor University. It revealed two top needs facing our Waco community:
- More housing for homeless families
- A Day Center for the Homeless
In conversation with the City of Waco, we’ve identified a place to build a much-needed, brand-new Center of Hope: 1324 LaSalle Avenue.
Our new facility on LaSalle will provide:
One “campus style” Day Center for the Homeless on the South Terrace Bus Route
Access to a diverse set of resources, all in one place
More family apartments to house families in transition
Dedicated beds for veterans, close to their caseworkers
A home for our
administrative offices

Hope For Tomorrow Begins Today – And With You
The Salvation Army Waco’s Building Hope campaign gives you the opportunity to change the lives of men, women, and children for generations to come.
We are in the midst of raising $20 million to fully fund the new Center of Hope.
We have already secured $11 million through property sales and other funding sources. Now we need your help!
Please help offer the best support possible so that individuals and families can leave homelessness for good.
