Emergency Assistance

Sometimes families and individuals find themselves in very critical financial situations due to the loss of a job, a fire, flood in their home, eviction or other unexpected circumstance. We also work with newly released ex-offenders to assist them in their re-entry to a productive life.

The Salvation Army may assist with furniture and clothing vouchers, food from our food pantry and personal counseling. Our goal is to assist individuals through the crisis emotionally, spiritually and, whenever possible, with basic needs.
