Assistance

The Salvation Army seeks to walk alongside households to address emergency and long-term needs. The goal of this assistance is to support household financial stability and to support the individuals in achieving goals they have set for themselves. 

Applications are only available online and will be found here when funds are available. 

PLEASE NOTE:
Each situation is looked at on a case-by-case basis. The information collected on the online application will be used to aid us in determining the range of assistance we can offer you, as well as for statistical purposes. Your information will not be shared outside of The Salvation Army or The Salvation Army Eagle Creek unless we are legally obligated to do so. If you are approved for assistance, you will need to provide verifiable proof of payment for the portion beyond our assistance before we can release our funds to your vendor.

After applying, you will need to bring the following documentation to your appointment 

• Your local Township Trustee's decision document (approval or denial) dated within the last sixty (60) days of the date of your online application.
• Your Valid Photo ID (cannot be expired).
• Proof of Address (official mail addressed to you (such as a utility bill, etc.), or a full copy of your lease).
• Proof of Income for all adult household members (bring all that apply to your household - two (2) most recent paycheck stubs for each person, SSI/SSDI award letter for each person, child support orders for each child, SNAP or TANF benefits award letter, etc.). If Proof of Income is not available, all adults in the household will need to provide their social security number and sign the Indiana Workforce Development form.
• Proof of Amount Needed:
  - HOUSING requires full copy of lease, plus a statement/account history/ledger from landlord showing current amount owed.
  - UTILITY requires copy of most recent bill
• If you have already made any partial payments toward the bill you are seeking assistance for, bring the receipts
