Lincoln County Missouri Salvation Army Service Extension

08/27/2026

The Salvation Army is here to serve with compassion, dignity, and love. Our goal is to support individuals and families and help bridge the gap during times of need.

To help us serve everyone fairly, we kindly ask that you arrive on time for scheduled appointments and provide any additional information requested. Our volunteers give their time freely to serve this community, and we ask that they be treated with kindness and respect. Disrespectful or inappropriate behavior toward our volunteers will not be tolerated.

Because we are entrusted with limited community funds, we have a responsibility to use them carefully and wisely. At this time, we have exhausted our available funds for the fiscal year and expect to resume support services in mid-September.

In the meantime, we will soon begin making calls for our annual bell-ringing campaign. Volunteers are essential to the success of this season and to our ability to continue helping neighbors in need. If you are able to volunteer your time, we would be incredibly grateful for your support.

Thank you for helping us maintain a caring and respectful environment where we can continue serving our community.

Ameren Missouri is sending a reminder to customers of their resources and programs aimed at helping residents pay their bills, “urging eligible customers” to apply for energy assistance dollars.

Long read-please bear with me.

As The Salvation Army, our mission is to serve our neighbors with compassion, dignity, and wise stewardship of the resources entrusted to us. Because the needs in our community are great and our funds are limited, we strive to help as many families as possible while also encouraging stability and self-sufficiency.

For this reason, assistance is generally provided once per year. If a household has received help two years in a row, we ask that you skip a year before requesting assistance again, allowing others in need the opportunity to receive support.

Financial assistance for a single bill is limited to a maximum of $300, and approval for any amount up to that limit is made at our discretion based on available funds and individual circumstances.

As part of our process, we may ask questions about household income and employment. If there are multiple adults of working age in the home who are not currently employed, or if there is no source of income, we will ask about the situation and whether active steps are being taken toward employment or stability. These questions are not meant to judge, but to help us ensure that assistance is both fair and effective.

We also ask that those seeking assistance approach the process with honesty, transparency, and kindness. We cannot help every situation, and we understand that can be frustrating. However, disrespectful or dishonest interactions make it harder for us to serve the community well.

Our mission is to do the most good for the greatest number of people, and that requires careful stewardship of the resources entrusted to us. We ask that those seeking help also be willing to help us by being honest, cooperative, and understanding of these guidelines.

Thank you for taking the time to read and for understanding the heart behind these policies as we continue serving our community.

Send us your photos! 📸 Thank you for ringing with us this season, and thank you for your generous donations!

Thank you!

It's not just about ringing a bell, but about the smiles generated by donations. We honored the memory of a dear friend this year, as Jim Finger selflessly volunteered for many years in support of the The Salvation Army USA.

A big thank you to all of our amazing ringers who show up and make a difference!

Unfortunately, we had a couple of no-shows today from 9 to 11 AM and 4 to 5 PM, which left the kettle unattended for three hours. When you commit to a shift, we really do count on you to be there or at least give us a quick heads up if something changes.

Every hour matters for the families we serve. Let’s keep the holiday spirit, strong, and work together to make the season bright!

If you are unable to show for your scheduled time, please do call or text 314-496-6678.

Thank you all.
