Pickaway, Fairfield County Ohio region Salvation Army assistance programs.

Many of the local Salvation Army assistance programs are for seasonal needs, such as Christmas assistance, school supplies, and holiday support. However some additional resources may be offered in Lancaster and Fairfield County, including free food, funds for paying rent or energy bills, and other financial aid.

A Food Pantry has staff and volunteers available on site and they respond daily to a number of needs. Hundreds of families request free food, groceries, clothing, prescriptions and much more from the center every month. While of course not everyone will qualify for help, the Fairfield County Salvation Army pantry does satisfy a major need of the community from this pantry.

A formal application process is in place in order to receive free food, groceries, or perishable goods. The following will normally be required, including social Security cards for everyone living in the household, proof of residence, copies of utility bills or your lease, ID, and more. People can only use the pantry at most once every 30 days, provided resources are available and they meet conditions.

The Salvation Army services and assistance programs like the food pantry help senior citizens, the disabled, children, families and people of all ages facing crises and difficult times. There are also databases of other emergency food pantries in Ohio for Salvation Army clients. For more information or if you need more often than every 30 days, dial 740-687-0500 for referrals.

Seasonal assistance includes Back to School programs. The Salvation Army of Lancaster and Pickaway Ohio has assisted children and students from low income families by providing Back to School Supplies, notebooks, clothing, and related goods. Hundreds of children receive some form of assistance every year. Please donate as well, as this program does depend on contributions from the community.

Another high demand program is the Angel Tree. This provides individuals, businesses and other partnering corporations the ability to “adopt” children from struggling families. The Angel Tree can also assist seniors, the homebound and disabled adults.

The Salvation Army Angel Tree program can distribute free personalized gifts, clothing, and necessities to those who children that would otherwise not be able to open any gifts or items during the Christmas holiday season. Donors from the community, including businesses, can be confident that their gifts go directly, and without excessive overhead, to those from the Pickaway and Fairfield County region who are truly needy.

The main objective of the Angel Tree program is to help people, including newborn, up to age 17 years. Ideally they would receive at least one new outfit this Christmas season. The tags on the Angel Tree represent children from the area whose parents have applied for Christmas assistance. It is the generosity of people in Lancaster and nearby communities such as Hocking that enables the Salvation Army to provide children with new shoes, a warm winter coat, a toy, or other clothes. The Salvation Army in Lancaster Ohio is always trying to do the most good for families in Fairfield County and other regions.

Providing social services, financial aid, or referrals are a key function. The Salvation Army helps many residents that are facing some form of short term crisis. Sometimes they can provide basic needs themselves, but more often than not they provide referrals, information, or guidance to other non-profits or charities in the Fairfield County Ohio region.

Some of what may be offered includes basic needs such as clothing, food, fans during the summer or shelter. Financial assistance is very limited, but when possible they can issues funds for paying rent, utilities, heating bills, or maybe expenses so someone can get to a job interview. Applicants will normally need to have an eviction notice or a disconnection letter from their energy company in order to receive emergency rental or energy assistance.

The main Salvation Army center in the Fairfield County region is located at 228 W Hubert Ave in Lancaster. Call (740) 687-1921 for information.
