Needs

The Salvation Army of Lafayette, IN  has been here since May of 1896 helping people with their Basic needs like food, shelter, clothing, health, and spiritual needs. We work with all ages by having programs for children and adults. From time to time we need the help of others. When the time comes and you have the time give us a call and ask what do we need that you can help with. The work of the Salvation Army goes on all year round not just at Christmas when you see the Red Kettle or summer when you hear about summer camps. The needs of people are always before us as they are you.

Basic needs do not end nor will the Work of The Salvation Army.

Thank you for thinking of us during your time of need and remembering us in our time of need.

We have a old saying (Need Knows, No Season) how true it is.

May God bless you as the season of summer begins to turn to fall.
