The services at Salvation Army’s current corps building at 303 W. Clark St., Pasco, will be shifting to 3203 W. Sylvester St., Pasco, a church previously owned by Hungry Generation, in the spring of 2026.
Hungry Generation has been remodeling a building at 1120 N. Edison St., Kennewick, to expand its church, and the Salvation Army recently bought its Pasco building for almost $1.8 million.
For the Salvation Army, the move will more than triple the space, from the Clark Street building’s 5,736 square feet to 17,752 square feet.
The bigger building will allow the Salvation Army to launch new programs to support youth, families and seniors, focusing on music, sports and educational classes, said Sara Beksinski, divisional director of development with the Salvation Army Northwest Division, in an email to the Tri-Cities Area Journal of Business.
The programs will be aimed at breaking generational struggles many families encounter, and the Salvation Army plans to hire more staff as they ramp it up.
The new building will require some renovations, including updating the kitchen, chapel, reception area, classrooms, gym and offices, Beksinski said.
The nonprofit estimates a $300,000 construction cost and is actively engaged in a fundraising effort to meet its goal.
The Salvation Army’s other services, including its client choice food pantry, will still be available at 310 N. Fourth Ave., Pasco.
