How we help Equip Families and Individuals

The Salvation Army offers a helping hand for those who need a little nudge.  Helping in a practical way is how we believe we do the most good.  The following programs are available to residents who are in need of emergency assistance:

 

Rent Assistance

When you don’t know where the money for your next rent payment is coming from, check with your local Salvation Army to see if funding is available for rent assistance. This type of funding ebb and flows, but if we can help, we will.

Those seeking assistance should call (419) 224-9055 x 216

Utility Assistance

During a long, cold winter, your heat bill swells and you receive a notice from your energy provider that all utilities will be disconnected unless you can pay the overdue balance. Or, maybe a job loss forced you to choose between paying rent or paying your electric bill. We can help.

Those seeking assistance should call (419) 224-9055 x 216

Clothing and Furniture Assistance

We provide shower facilities for people in our community who struggle with homelessness. Clients can come shower, do their laundry and receive clothing and hygiene products from The Salvation Army.

Those seeking assistance should call (419) 224-9055 x 216

Alleviate Hunger

We feed people, including the most vulnerable of our communities.

Salvation Army food pantries provide groceries for families and individuals in need. Food offered at no-charge to the clients.

Food Pantry by Appointment, please call (419) 224-9055 x 212

Meal Feedings Sunday Nights 4-6 pm

Holiday Assistance

Every year, parents must choose between giving their children gifts or paying bills. Individuals facing poverty often spend the holidays without the warmth of a shared meal or even a support system. 

From gifts for children in need to special meals for those who would otherwise go without fellowship on the holidays and meeting other basic needs - we aim to bring joy back into the season.

School Supplies

Every year, The Salvation Army coordinates a school supply donation drive in partnership with Lima City Schools, supplying students with backpacks and the supplies to start the school year off on the right foot.

The following are items we are always in need of:

  • Backpacks
  • Pencil Pouch
  • Hand Sanitizer
  • Notebooks
  • Paper
  • Pens
  • Scissors
  • Colored Pencils
  • Tissues

Event takes place the first week in August.
