How The Salvation Army is paving a ‘pathway of hope’ in Silicon Valley
San Jose is among the richest cities in the United States, if not the richest. But even in Santa Clara County’s Silicon Valley, people fall on hard times and need help.
When they do, The Salvation Army is there to help, providing shelter at Emmanuel House and food through a daily drive-through distribution and senior nutrition program at its Silicon Valley campus.
The campus also houses the tri-lingual San Jose church, with services in English, Spanish and Mandarin. And in the coming years, The Salvation Army plans to do even more from this central location, which oversees all Salvation Army operations in Santa Clara County.
Adjacent to the campus, Emmanuel House provides both overnight shelter and transitional living for men in need.
There’s no wait for those who show up at the check-in time with identification—something that’s not always possible through the Santa Clara County hotline.
