The Salvation Army of LaPorte Corps Community Center Holiday Giving Information
How We Help Brighten the Holidays
Especially during the holiday season, needed assistance with everyday problems can help a family have the hope they need to start the new year. The Salvation Army assists families with temporal needs by providing food, utility, rent, and other assistance. Through our holistic approach to serving the whole person, we supplement every service with emotional and spiritual support.
Christmas Assistance includes Holiday Food Distribution and Christmas Toy Shoppe. Applications for assistance are accepted beginning in November each year.
