Help us do the most good.

Donations of groceries help re-stock Salvation Army pantries, so our meal and emergency food programs can continue. Items should be within the expiration date. We cannot use or give away expired foods. Drop off your non-perishables Mon-Fri (9 a.m.-3 p.m.) at The Salvation Army Hayward Corps, 430 A St., Hayward. Thank you so much for your donation.
