2020 Springfield IL Shelter Stats
Click Here To See The Progress for the 2021 Shelter
This is a report of activities and money for our shelter project from last winter. Our mission was to keep the most marginalized in our community Warm, Safe and Alive in the face of the largest pandemic in the last 100 years. Because of our fantastic, passionate and determined staff we met the challenge head-on and expanded services any way necessary to accomplish that mission. I am proud to say that over the winter while we had 50 residents and many staff experience COVID-19, thanks to SIU school of medicines help, no deaths resulted from COVID or the brutal winter weather we experienced.
Please take a look at the stats below and see full financial break downs at the bottom.
The Salvation Army will continue to do what we can to make our community a better place. Than you to everyone for all of the help, support and prayers!
