Indiana Salvation Army financial assistance.

If you need help and are struggling with paying your bills or need referrals to assistance programs, then the Indiana Salvation Army is a great resource to use. Everything from rent help to free Christmas toys, food from a pantry, back to school supplies, shelters and more is offered. A number of locations that are listed below operate across the region. Low income families, the unemployed, and less fortunate can get help and advice with basic needs.

The Salvation Army can provide a low cost thrift store in Indiana. There is also free food, funds for utility and heating bills, rent assistance, substance abuse help, and other case management type services. Tens of thousands of Indiana residents use their Family Services each and every year for those resources and more, even including free school supplies, shelter, or Christmas toys.

Financial help from Salvation Army in Indiana

Emergency rental assistance and eviction prevention – As funding allows, limited financial assistance can be distributed for paying rent and housing costs in Indiana. In order to determine if your local Salvation Army office in Indiana is able to provide housing assistance, whether it is rent or mortgage assistance needed, call or stop by your local center. Most of the aid is focused on people with eviction notices and who will be homeless without any type of assistance.

Utility assistance - The Salvation Army can sometimes provide assistance with utility and heating bills for Indiana households that have received a shut-off notice. Sometimes this may involve helping people apply for LIHEAP or grants from their utility company. Even if there are not funds available, then the Salvation Army case manager can refer the client to additional Indiana energy bill assistance programs.

Transportation assistance is another service that is always in high demand. The Salvation Army provides gas money and bus cards to those in need of transportation assistance to a job interview or doctor appointment. This is even more limited than some of the other resources provided in Indiana.

 

 

 

Temporary or transitional housing offers shelter for lower income people in Indiana who need time to stabilize their lives. It is usually used by people who were evicted, or who lost their home to foreclosure. This housing program provides support services, case management and temporary housing for up to 6 months to recovering, low-income single men and women. Assistance is usually given in cases of eviction from a home or apartment, domestic break-up, addiction crisis, or other types of housing crisis.

In addition to those programs referenced above, the non-profit is also a great place for information on public aid. For example, learn about state of Indiana government assistance and social services.

Free stuff including for food, holidays and back to school season

Food, groceries, and meals - Salvation Army food pantries provide free or low cost meals and groceries for families who need help. While most centers will provide free food, an appointment is oftentimes necessary, but the exact rules may vary by location. Some centers may help qualified or borderline individuals learn about and apply for food support benefits, such as food stamps or WIC, at the Indiana Salvation Army social service offices. These services can include eligibility pre-screening and assistance in filling out their application for public aid. Last, but not least, many locations of the Salvation Army provide hot meals year-round for anyone in need.

Clothing closets and thrift stores can sell household items and clothing at a greatly reduced cost and are open to the public. These stores are usually open to anyone, regardless of their income or financial situation. However the working poor and people with low incomes can access free clothing vouchers for single adults coping with financial need or disaster. A focus is on people who need clothes for school or work.

In addition, vouchers for household items are available to individuals or families in most Indiana cities. Many Salvation Army locations in Indiana will require an appointment and a formal application process to request vouchers. In addition, some of the services are seasonal in nature, such as for free winter coats as well as the free school supply program.

 

 

 

 

Prescription and medical assistance - Assistance can be offered for paying for prescription costs and/or insurance co-pays. Vouchers and cash assistance is available on a limited basis to qualified low income and uninsured individuals in Indiana.

Holiday and Christmas assistance, as well as seasonal services can be offered. All aid is provided according to special and specific needs. The Salvation Army provides the less fortunate with holiday gifts for children through Toy Shop and Angel Tree, and winter wear for children and teens through Coats for Kids

The application period will start in the fall, with families assisted on a first come-served basis. Once the donated toys and gifts run out then the Indiana resident will be referred to other local charities. Find more information on the Salvation Army Christmas sign up service.

Case management services in Indiana

Employment assistance – Some branches of the Indiana Salvation Army offer assistance in finding employment. Job placement assistance is available in some locations. This can include the use of computers and phone banks, advice from a case manager, and information on other local employment and job finding programs in your town.

The Indiana Salvation Army coordinates various other support too. This can include low cost/affordable drug and alcohol treatment centers for both city and rural areas. The Christian church based agency also help children, and this is often done through summer camps as well as after school care. Many other resources may be offered by each local Salvation Army center too. Read more on free summer activities for kids.
