FOOD PANTRY
CAN YOU HELP? |
Can you help? Our Food Pantry needs to be replenished. As many Delawareans face financial hardships we are seeing more families coming to us for help with food. It's hard to have to choose between paying for needed medicine, electricity or food to feed your family. Especially hard hit are our Seniors who are barely surviving on fixed incomes.
We need canned goods such as:
Soups, tuna, canned meat, raviioli, spaghetti, fruits and more.
Dry Goods like cereal, macoroni & cheese, rice. . .items that can easily be prepared. |

EMERGENCY HOUSING RESIDENCE
RENOVATIONS UPDATE
On April 24, 2008, we hosted a "Renovation Celebration", exactly 25 years since the dedication and opening of the shelter in 1983. Many guests, including Wilmington's Mayor James Baker, New Castle County Executive Chris Coons and other community leaders, attended as we announced that the renovations would, at last, begin. Major Philip DeMichael said, "The Salvation Army is continuing to house homeless women with children in temporary accomodations in one of our adjoining buildings and is partnering with the YWCA to house single women. We thank the foundations and corporations who have provided much of the estimated $2.5 million to fund this project." |
For more information about the emergency residence, or if you would like to support this building fund campaign, please contact:

DOING THE MOST GOOD. . .
DURING THE HARSH
WINTER MONTHS
Code Purple is a program open during the winter months to provide emergency shelter for homeless men and women when the temperature reaches 10 degrees or heavy snow is predicted. There, they are given a warm place to sleep, food, an opportunity to shower, warm clothing and information relative to assistance we offer through our other programs. Women and children who need this additional service are placed in our Emergency Housing Residence. One of our staff said, "All the guys are so appreciative. They know we care about them, treat them with respect, share conversation and just make sure they know how important they are."
|
|
Between the months of December 2008 and March 2009 we opened our doors to 409 men and women offering a safe haven from the freezing winter weather. | |
