Homelessness is a complex problem that requires long-term, committed partnerships with public and non-profit agencies and organizations across the region.

A few of the groups working to make a difference are listed below. Contact us at info@cityofsalem.net to get added to the list.

To help those in need, including people experiencing homelessness, please consider how you give. You can give your time at a shelter or meal site, your funds, or food and personal items to groups and organizations helping those in need in our community.

The decision to give is a personal one.  If you feel compelled to help, or if have been approached and want to help, consider giving to one of the many proven service agencies in our area. 

No matter the size, your contributions will go the furthest towards making a difference by donating through these established organizations instead of directly to individuals. You can play an integral role in improving the lives of individuals, while helping your community. 

Our local organizations provide meals, clothing, and other items, in addition to services such as case management, job training, and access to healthcare, mental health support, and substance abuse treatment.
