Who We Are
Echelon's Mission:
- Mobilizing the next generation of The Salvation Army through service, ministry, fellowship, networking, and fundraising.
- Echelon was founded in 2010 in Dallas, TX. Echelon Peoria, the fourth Echelon chapter, was founded in 2014.
Echelon Peoria seeks to:
- Increase awareness and broaden the image of how The Salvation Army impacts communities and their families.
- Provide opportunities and experiences to create young leaders that will carry the shield of The Salvation Army to the future.
In Echelon Peoria's lifetime, we have:
- Logged over 1,500 volunteer hours through Echelon and Salvation Army programs and events
- Raised over $130,000 (net) through unique fundraising events
- Donated over $40,000 to The Salvation Army Tri-County's annual Tree of Lights (Christmas) campaign
- Donated to The Salvation Army's music program at Sterling Middle School and the Army's Family Services program
- Touched thousands of lives through service and volunteering
