About this resource
Emergency shelter campus (The Salvation Army Chesapeake Energy Center of Hope) providing residential shelter for single men, single women, and families, on-site food services (Red Shield Diner / food pantry), and social-services / case-management support.
The Salvation Army Central Oklahoma’s Chesapeake Energy Center of Hope (1001 N. Pennsylvania Ave) houses emergency residential services for men, women, and families, client-choice food distribution and meal services, and social-service case management. The campus opened as a consolidated Center of Hope facility in 2014–2015 and increased residential capacity compared with the previous location. Sources describe three emergency shelters on the 1001 N. Pennsylvania campus (men’s, women’s, family) and on-site meal and food pantry programs.
What to know before you go

Administrative/general office hours for the Central Oklahoma Area Command are listed as Monday–Thursday 9:00 AM–4:30 PM and Friday 9:00 AM–12:00 PM on the Salvation Army national site; shelter operations and intake hours differ from administrative hours—see instructions field and call the phone number to confirm current intake availability.
- Eligibility
- Information in local resource guides and Salvation Army descriptions identifies the shelters as serving single men, single women, and families (people experiencing homelessness). Some program listings reference serving residents of Oklahoma County for certain social-service programs (e.g., food assistance); eligibility may vary by program—call the Area Command to confirm.
