Thanks to generosity of the members of  our communities we again broke the giving record! Thank you so much for generously giving of your time and money. We are truly blessed and our community will be helped in many ways.

Ninety (90) per cent of this money comes back to Marion County. 
Neighbor Helping Neighbor distributes vouchers for Salvation Army funds to those in need in the county. The Methodist Church Activity Center is the distribution center. The Center is located just east of south side of the square and is open on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1 til 3 pm

The other (10) per cent goes for national disaster relief.
