For more than 25 years, The Salvation Army's Annual Tournament Fore! Kids has partnered with local businesses and sponsors to help make a difference in the lives of children and youth in need across Monroe County. Your partnership is more important than ever as the economic impact of the Coronavirus pandemic has been far-reaching. Here in Rochester, The Salvation Army saw more than a 50% increase in need since March 2020 – this includes helping families put food on the table, helping to pay for needed prescriptions, and providing shelter for those without a home.
Funds raised through our golf tournament provide more than 11,000 toys and gifts as well as food, coats, backpacks, and positive programming to needy children across our community. Call 585-987-9500 ext 2319 to pre-register your 4some for next spring's tournament.  We'd love to have you!

Always a helping hand in times of need, The Salvation Army of Greater Rochester offers free, temporary shelter and other services to those experiencing homelessness. Our weekend food truck, The Canteen, can be found traveling the streets of Rochester to provide hot meals, warm blankets and other supplies/support to the homeless in our community. Our free haircuts, holiday dinners, weekly spiritual services and other community activities are open to everyone.
Our three shelters in Monroe County provide almost 100 beds, some of which are designated for veterans.

These shelters offer spiritual and physical care, food, and shelter to people in need. They attend to the needs of the individual and are meant to be a kind resting place to help those in need get back on their feet. Our continuing efforts assist the homeless population in finding a stable living environment and supporting their goals; be it finding employment, continuing education, living independently or returning to their families.

People who come to us for assistance will be served according to their needs and our capacity to help - regardless of race, religious beliefs, gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation.
# Knowledge is a ticket out of poverty
## Youth Camps & recreation Programs
## A place to grow some memories
For over 100 years, The Salvation Army has recognized the restorative power of nature. The Salvation Army operates 45 residential summer camps and hundreds of day camps across the country. Each year more than 185,000 children and senior citizens enjoy the fresh air, exercise and new friendships at these annual summer camp programs.
Families unable to send their children to expensive summer camps turn to The Salvation Army of Greater Rochester. They count on us to give their kids a fun, educational experience at little or no cost. Whether through the Kids Adventure Summer program or at a weeklong stay at the Empire State Division's Long Point Camp on Seneca Lake, our aim is to give children the tools they need to succeed.
The camping experience at Long Point is more than just a pleasant vacation. Children learn new skills and self-reliance; trained counselors who understand their emotional needs and problems help them to mature. Camp activities include learning to swim, adventure and scouting camps, arts and crafts, music developments and sports. The Salvation Army offers affordable recreation programs and stay over camps for children ages 6-14.
