Salvation Army of Phelps County

The Phelps County Salvation Army exists to help others in Phelps County at their greatest point of need.  Your giving predominantly helps provide people in Phelps County with assistance paying their rent, help with their utility payments, purchase needed medications or buy groceries for their family. 

We are in a great position to help meet temporary, short-term needs that may be necessary for a person to move forward to a more fulfilled, self-sufficient, successful life situation in the future. Over the last several years we have seen an increase in the number of people with jobs but still have difficulty making ends meet. We don’t intend to enable individuals to continue living in need unnecessarily, but rather to help them in a temporary moment of need.

When funds allow, we do special community projects, such as provide school supplies and backpacks for students in Phelps County schools or offer assistance to senior citizens with meals or transportation through the Phelps County Senior Center or Bertrand Young at Heart Center.

Ninety percent of your donations assist families and individuals in Phelps County. The other ten percent goes toward administrative costs and statewide disaster relief. The Salvation Army’s mission is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.  

We would like to thank you all for your generosity to the Phelps County Salvation Army.
