Families can apply for Christmas assistance from October 10 through October 28
The Salvation Army of Evansville has begun taking applications for Christmas assistance starting this week and continuing through the 28th of October. They expect over 1,000 families to apply for assistance both online and in person this year.

Last year, The Salvation Army, in partnership with Toys for Tots of Southern Indiana, provided Christmas assistance to over 1,000 families and gifts to over 2,700 children.
"The need is expected to grow this year, which means we will need the continued support of our generous partners, who allow us to serve those in need," explained Captain Brandon Lewis of The Salvation Army of Evansville. "We are blessed to continue sharing the joy of Christmas with many more families this season!"
Businesses, groups, and individuals who would like to get involved are invited to sign up as volunteers by visiting SAEvansville.org/volunteer. These volunteers are invaluable to The Salvation Army's many programs and make it possible to serve so many local families throughout the holiday season.
