The Salvation Army Receives $10,000 Grant from Glick Philanthropies to Help Central Indiana Community Members Meet their Basic Needs
The Salvation Army Eagle Creek Corps Community Center received a $10,000 grant from the Glick Community Relief Fund, a grant program of Glick Philanthropies that supports local nonprofit organizations to increase community members’ access to basic needs. The grant was one of 92 totaling $704,700 to organizations supporting communities across nine states where Gene B. Glick Company properties are located.
The Glick Community Relief Fund focuses on increasing healthy food access, expanding accessible transportation, connecting community members to utility assistance, and prioritizing mental health support. This grant was one of 60 directed to Indiana-based organizations.
“Nearly half of U.S. households are unable to afford the cost of living due to growing prices, stagnant wages, and a shrinking social safety net,” said Ben Grande, Director of Philanthropy at Glick Philanthropies. “Through programs like the Glick Community Relief Fund, Glick Philanthropies supports nonprofit organizations, like The Salvation Army, that are connecting our most vulnerable community members to resources to help them meet their basic needs.”
The Salvation Army Eagle Creek Corps Community Center serves residents of Indianapolis and Hendricks County, many of whom are struggling to make ends meet. The corps offers social service programs that provide essential items for infants, household supplies, food, and financial assistance for utilities. With the additional support from Glick Philanthropies, The Salvation Army will be able to better meet the increased need for assistance seen in the community.
“Glick Philanthropies continues to step up and help organizations like ours provide direct services to households that look to us in their time of need,” said Captain Aaron Johnson with The Salvation Army. “These funds come at a critical time. This year we’ve seen a big increase in people coming to The Salvation Army for assistance, so this grant will help us keep pace with the needs of the community.”
2026 marks the 11th year that Glick Philanthropies has administered this property-nominated grant program. Through this initiative, more than $6 million has been awarded to over 320 nonprofit organizations across 13 states. The Salvation Army Eagle Creek has also been a Glick Community Relief Fund grant recipient in years past.
