Additional Support
The Salvation Army can help you apply for SNAP (food stamp) benefits. Staff offer a free pre-screening, and if you're eligible, they'll help you file the application. The Greater Cleveland area also holds seasonal produce giveaways through a partnership with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, offering a variety of free fresh produce at no cost. For the giveaway, you'll need a photo ID and proof of residency such as a utility bill.
Ways to Give
You can make a monetary donation online at the Greater Cleveland Salvation Army's giving page. You can also donate clothing, furniture, and household items, or a vehicle. All donations stay in the local community to directly support programs.
