COVID-19 Relief Fund

The Omaha-based Salvation Army Western Division is working hard to support the metro community amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Division has already stepped up local food pantry operations, entered into a collaboration with community partners on mobile food distribution to serve food-insecure children, and enhanced its material-services assistance efforts. These efforts are all above and beyond the usual scope and pace of the Division’s year-round human-services operations. The number of people now needing assistance is growing beyond that which we traditionally serve.

The Salvation Army Western Division has announced the creation of a new relief fund dedicated specifically to supporting The Salvation Army’s efforts to assist the community as it deals with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Contributions to this fund can be made here.

We are grateful to announce that a funding partner has offered to match donations dollar for dollar up to $250,000 through June 30th. What’s more, this match has been expanded to apply to donations that come in from all three of the areas that we serve: Nebraska, South Dakota, and western Iowa. Donations to this fund will be designated specifically to cover basic needs expenses, helping those in need both in the metro area—and throughout Nebraska, South Dakota, and western Iowa.

Thank you so much for your support!
