The Salvation Army of Lincoln COVID-19 Response
Modifications in current services offered

[April 22, 2020]   The recent outbreak and spread of COVID-19, or Coronavirus, across the U.S. has led to many questions and concerns. If you want to learn the best ways to protect yourself, what the symptoms of COVID-19 are, or any other virus specific information – please visit the CDC’s Website for the most accurate information and updated resources.

Throughout this crisis, The Salvation Army will remain committed to our mission of Doing The Most Good for all those in need throughout Logan & Mason County. We will continue to provide as many of our services & programs that we can, while still taking the necessary health precautions. This means that there may be temporary adjustments to the ways we serve.
