Salvation Army
The Salvation Army provides
emergency payments for medical, housing, utilities, clothing,
food, baby supplies and other needs.
Salvation Army participates
with Department of Job & Family Services to purchase school
clothes and shoes each summer for families who meet TANF
eligibility and who have children who will be in grades K-12.
A summer camp and a camp for
persons over age 50 are offered each year; Salvation Army pays
the cost of the camp plus provides transportation if needed.

Mission Statement
“Fire and Blood”
|
History
This is not a “Community
Action” program, in that the funds are not kept by the CAC
Fiscal Officer. The local service unit committee makes
determinations of eligibility, amount of assistance, etc. The
Treasurer keeps the bank account. The service unit was moved to
Community Action in 1980 when the Trustees of the Eyman Fund
asked Bambi Baughn to be the Treasurer. The Salvation Army is
used in conjunction with other emergency programs operated by
CAC to reduce duplication of services and assure sufficient
assistance is provided to alleviate the families’ emergencies.

Eligibility Guidelines
No income
eligibility. Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case
basis.
Considerations:
Emergency situation present; availability of other resources;
past assistance through Salvation Army. Salvation Army account
funded by Eyman Trust limits assistance to Fayette County
residents. Account funded by the District Office can provide
assistance to transients passing through the county, as well as
residents. Some services (such as school clothing and shoes)
are based on Temporary Assistance to Needy Families based on the
Department of Job & Family Services guidelines. |
