The Salvation Army Corps in Hamar has been part of the local community since 1888 and offers a range of services with a focus on caring for people in vulnerable situations. Known for its motto "soup, soap and salvation", the organization actively works with various target groups, including children, young people, the elderly and people with substance abuse problems. Through aid and emergency work, as well as prison work and educational opportunities, they help support those who need it most.
In addition to the direct services, the Salvation Army Corps offers volunteer opportunities for involvement, which gives the local community the chance to participate in the work. They also have a national telephone service aimed at people over 60, which provides support and guidance. The organization emphasizes sustainability goals and social responsibility, and works to strengthen the local community through its church and community center.
