Return on Investment

Your support changes lives daily. And, Donna is living proof.

She arrived at our shelter with nothing but a suitcase. She’d left everything behind – including her abusive husband. Her company had just downsized and she’d even lost her job. Donna was in desperate need of a safe place to stay while she figured out her next step. What she found was safety and compassion, a fresh start. Within days, she found a full-time retail job. And with the help and support of the counselors at our shelter, she put together a financial plan and had the money to support herself in her own apartment in just two month’s time. And even though she’s self sufficient, she’s not on her own. Donna continues to participate in the Continuing Support Program and meets with her case manager weekly.

You see, when you support The Salvation Army, your money helps women like Donna start over. Your donations aren’t paying for flashy offices or huge salaries. Your donations provide safe shelter for women fleeing domestic violence, a place for kids to go after school while their parents work, the resources for people who are struggling to get back on their feet. You’ll see it in the faces of the men, women and children we serve every day of the year at our Social Service Center, our domestic violence shelter, at Harbor Light or at any of our community Corps offices. That’s a better investment than Wall Street these days!

We’re just about $229,000 away from our Tree of Lights goal. To make certain our neighbors in need will always find help through The Salvation Army, please donate online or send your support to 3100 N. Meridian Street, Indianapolis, IN 46208. Thanks for helping us continue “doing the most good” for those who need it most.
