Providing physical needs such as grocery, utility and gift assistance,
to emotional experiences including holiday events and traditions.
Last year, 1181 children and adults received Christmas gifts. 400 families received Christmas dinners and 1020 families had Thanksgiving dinners because the community worked with us to provide what was needed. This year, we invite you to join us again to help.
The Salvation Army celebrates the birth of Christ by spreading His hope, love, and joy to the less fortunate members of society. In fact, our gift-giving programs and fundraising initiatives are a direct answer to God's calling to care for the poor, hungry, sick, and displaced. From physical needs such as grocery, utility and gift assistance, to emotional experiences including holiday events and traditions, to spiritual guidance that provides healing and hope, we work to assist the whole person through gifts that serve the body, mind, and soul.
"My daughter, Neelie and I were ringing bells and a woman pulled out a $100 bill in memory of her father who gave every year but passed away. She was carrying on his tradition of donating $100 to a kettle each year. She got all teary-eyed while telling us his story. What a fantastic way to honor her father. We were astounded by her generosity. Neelie and I will be back Christmas Eve to get some more into those kettles!" - Beckye, Fond du Lac
