Salvation Army partnering with Toys for Tots, DeMoney-Grimes Countryside Park Funeral Home to meet community needs
The Salvation Army is preparing for the holidays and anticipating an increase for requests for services in Whitley County. They’re also partnering with several other local organizations to help meet what they anticipate will be a major need for help in the community this year.
For that reason, the Salvation Army of Whitley County is now accepting financial donations to help support the food vouchers given to families for the Christmas holiday as well as other services through the year.
In a cooperative effort, Whitley County Toys for Tots will provide gifts for children and teens. Applications will be taken at The Salvation Army office at Eagle Quest Church, from November 2-19, 2009, Monday-Thursday, from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. & 1:30-4:30 p.m.
Families and individuals seeking assistance need to have a picture ID, proof of address and income.
The Salvation Army, in cooperation with DeMoney-Grimes Countryside Park Funeral Home, will distribute coats on Saturday, December 5 from 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. to those in need at Eagle Quest Church on a first come, first served basis. Gently used coats may taken to DeMoney-Grimes Countryside Park Funeral Home from November 16-30.
All donations given to The Salvation Army Whitley County office stay in the county to help those in need. The Salvation Army has helped "others" in Whitley County since 1937 marking its 72nd year of service.
