The Salvation Army in Rome serves our area with help at Christmastime and throughout the year.  The local post of the Salvation Army serves Floyd, Polk and Chattooga Counties.  Every year, bell ringers are outside area retail stores collecting money in the famous “red kettles”.  As of the day before Christmas eve, Salvation Army in Rome had raised over $60,000 in the three-county region. 

The Salvation Army says, “Many of the men and women we serve are struggling to get back on their feet after a crisis has turned their lives upside down. They have no job, no money and don’t know how they’re going to put food on the table or keep a roof over their heads. Thankfully, they can count on The Salvation Army”.

In times of crisis the Salvation Army is often one of the first organizations to respond.  During the flooding crisis in September of 2022, the Salvation Army in Rome provided over 15,000 meals in Chattooga County.  They also provide hundreds of toys at Christmastime through their annual Angel Tree that serves children in Floyd, Polk and Chattooga Counties.

While the Red Kettle campaign has wrapped up for this year, the Salvation Army is still accepting donations to help those in need in our area.  To learn more about the Salvation Army or to donate visit their website HERE
