The Wish List
The following wish list details items needed most for all our programs. We are able to use both new and gently used items. All items can be donated at our Community Center at 222 E. Indiana. To discuss donating a larger item, or items that involve manual labor, please call (509) 325-6810.
Financial Donations
In light of the recent downturn in this nation's economy, The Salvation Army is feeling the strain of maintaining to provide services to our community's most needy people. Please consider a financial donation as your first method of supporting our work. Those at the bottom of the social chain are feeling the pinch more than most. The Salvation Army exists to provide hope and a light to those people. Thank you!
