The Salvation Army Indiana Division Information

The Salvation Army Indiana Division serves Hoosiers living in communities across the state. More than twenty Corps Community Centers act as hubs for after school programs, day camps, older adult activities, church services, Bible studies, youth and adult sports, food pantries and soup kitchens, and a wide variety of social services. The Indiana Division also operates an expansive, volunteer-operated Service Extension network that provides financial assistance to residents in every Indiana county, even when a brick-and-mortar Salvation Army building is not located there. Across the state, the annual Red Kettle Christmas Campaign raises funds that are used year-round to help struggling families and individuals. During times of disaster, like floods, tornadoes, and extreme heat or cold, The Salvation Army's Emergency Disaster Services team is on site providing assistance to survivors and first responders. These highly-trained teams offer food and hydration, access to long-term assistance, and spiritual and emotional care during very difficult times. They also serve the community year-round by providing comfort and hydration at police and fire funerals, veteran and memorial events, and other large public gatherings. In addition to Corps Community Centers, The Salvation Army operates several specialty locations across the state. These include the Ruth Lilly Women and Children's Center in downtown Indianapolis, which provides shelter to victims of domestic violence, human trafficking, and homelessness. The Harbor Light Center, located on Indy's west side, offers addiction treatment programming that includes detox management, transitional housing, and classes to help consumers return to their families and reenter the workforce. Summer camp is a popular program in Indiana, where The Salvation Army owns and operates Hidden Falls Camp, a beautiful, 700-acre property in Lawrence County. Children from across the state can attend camp for little or no cost.
