4. The Salvation Army only assists with utilities bill (water, light and gas) and rental and mortgage. If you are seeking assistance for an utility bill, you must have the current bill. The Salvation Army does not accept the disconnect notice. (Bills MUST be in the name of the client who is seeking the assistance and living at the current address.)
Each case will be determined upon your emergency if you will be assisted. Not every time you come in you are guaranteed to be assisted with your needs. If The Salvation Army cannot assist, we will do our best to give you other agencies that might be able to assist you.
