Christmas is Coming!

Click below to fill out our Christmas Assistance Program application!

Apply by Nov. 20!

We're here to help.

The Social Services ministry provides a compassionate and realistic response to families and individuals in crisis. Persons applying need to be below 200% of the federal poverty guideline (approx. $50,200 for a family of four).

Persons applying are asked to bring a photo ID, proof of household income, and proof of address. Applicants for assistance must be residents of Ashland County.

Each head of household must complete and sign an intake form.

During the one-on-one interview with the emergency assistance case manager, solutions to the underlying cause of the crisis are addressed through referrals and advocacy. It is our goal to achieve long-term solutions to problems in order to enhance family stability.

Pathway of Hope

Pathway of Hope is a nationwide initiative rooted in an intensive case management approach, providing targeted services to families with a desire to take action to break the cycle of crisis and enable a path out of inter-generational poverty. Its curriculum is client-centered, focusing on empowerment through a strengths-based lens and aiming to address root causes of barriers through the use of existing internal resources alongside extensive community collaboration.

The Salvation Army will always continue to serve those who come to us in need, but Pathway of Hope goes a step further, providing a hand up as opposed to a handout.

Christmas Assistance Program

The Salvation Army hosts Christmas Assistance Programs to help families with children 12 years and younger, that are at 200% of the federal poverty level, celebrate Christmas with gifts of toys, clothes, and food. 

Registration is required and will be live online from Monday, October 2 – Monday, November 20th.  Visit www.saangeltree.org to complete an application. Documents that will be required for upload will include a photo of proof of Ashland County Residency (piece of mail that is not junk mail, Photo ID, proof of income (e.g. latest paycheck stub, SSI verification letter, etc.) and a photo of the children’s birth certificate. 

Gifts and food distribution will take place Wednesday, December 13 – Friday, December 15th. Participants will receive a postcard in the mail and/or an email with your assigned pick-up date and time. 

Please note: Families may only participate in one Christmas Assistance Program in Ashland County, with either the Kroc Center or Associated Charities.
