Meal-Nov 27th 11 am - 2 pm

We offer a Thanksgiving meal to whomever, although the great draw is from our immediate area. Many fixed-income or no-income families attend, and we try to make it as homey and welcoming as possible. This meal is generally held during the week of Thanksgiving and anyone wanting to join us our welcome. The meal will be held on Nov, 22nd at 1040 N Fulton Ave, from 11-1 pm. If you would like to volunteer, either to help us prep for the event or to serve during the event

It's no secret to any of us that people can struggle in lots of different ways. The Salvation Army is dedicated to meeting SO many needs of those struggling in the community. I am sure that you all are familiar with The Salvation Army’s red kettles and bell ringers during the Holiday season. For most of us, it just enhances that “feels like Christmas feeling” when we are out and about shopping over the Holiday’s. The bell ringing does more than just signal it’s “the most wonderful time of the year”. The donations raised from the red kettle campaign provide daily meals, utility resources, youth programs and Christmas toys and food boxes for families in need. The ringing of the bell represents hope. Would you consider “ringing hope” into your community this Holiday season?

Toy Town: December 16, 17, & 18

8:00-5:00 pm

The Salvation Army in partnership with Toys for tots works to provide Christmas presents for children 0- 16 years of age. So the joy of Christmas can still be experienced without the parents having to worry about anything more than what they already have on their plate. It is The Salvation Army's hope that all children feel loved and cared for at Christmas, and we are excited to be working closely with Toys for Tots and other community partners towards the same goal. This is a special time for Children and they may not understand why there may be no presents at Christmas.  The Salvation Army's desire is that all know of a special gift that was given by God to this world in Jesus.  And He is the reason for the season. We hope that by the selfless giving of gifts and other items we have an avenue to share the love of Jesus and the gospel

Stuff the Bus: July 2026 from 10am - 6 pm


Join us in serving those in need! 

Going back to school can look very different from one person to the next. The truth is that there are many who worry about having everything they need for their child. For some it's a battle they face every year...for others, this may be a battle they will be facing for the first time this year... We never want anyone to feel like they are alone in this battle.

For years The Salvation Army and Walmart have partnered to raise school supplies for those in need as part of "Stuff The Bus"... how we accomplished this effort has looked very different from year to year...From school supplies being purchased and volunteers stuffing backpacks...to focusing on area high schools and partnering with counselors for under-served schools...to our latest partnership with EVSC Foundation Teacher Locker helping equip teachers and classrooms throughout the year... to this year's 3-way approach to serving EVSC, Warrick County School Corp, and direct assistance to the Cedar Hall elementary neighborhood.

Donation boxes will be available at all local Walmart supercenters to collect on July 11th and 12th 2025 from 10 AM until 6 PM

Additional collection boxes will be available at other participating business and agencies including the following:

What's the need: We're looking for 1-2 people to either rotate on or just be willing to be put on a backup list for when our regular volunteers will be out.

We are a TEFAP participating food pantry and an equal opportunity provider. We offer groceries to whoever is in need while meeting the requirements of federal guidelines for the TEFAP program... Groceries include dry goods, canned, goods, frozen meat, refrigerator product and other household staples. Clients are allowed to come once a month to "shop" for their families. Clients can also come on behalf of others, and those who might not be able to come to the available times. Those who are not able to get out or find transportation can ask someone to come on their behalf and fill out the proper paperwork to be an approved "proxy".  Please contact our offices with any questions about being a proxy.
