Mission Essential Support Needed to Prevent Hunger
and Homelessness Across Central & Eastern Kentucky

Donate Now

Why This Campaign Matters

1 in 6

Kentuckians faces food insecurity

1 in 5

Children in Kentucky struggles with hunger

Limited

Many rural counties we serve have limited food access and transportation

Lower Cost

Preventing homelessness costs far less and causes less trauma than re-housing a family after eviction

Our Mission Is Essential - And At Risk

For individuals and families facing crisis, one unexpected hardship can quickly become hunger or homelessness.

The Mission Essential Campaign focuses on early intervention - strengthening the services that stabilize families before situations escalate. By investing now, donors help address immediate needs while protecting long-term stability and dignity.

Between June and November 2026, The Salvation Army of Richmond is seeking $250,000 to protect access to essential services across our service area.

HELP REACH THE $250,000 GOAL

How Your Gift Saves Services

Case Management Services

$65,000

What this supports:
Currently, there is no dedicated case manager serving clients in crisis. Funding will allow us to hire a case manager to:

  • Support individuals during emergencies
  • Connect clients to housing, employment, and benefits
  • Reduce repeat crises through personalized support

Emergency Rental Assistance

$105,000

What this supports:
A missed rent payment can quickly lead to homelessness — and resources are limited. This funding will:

  • Help 45–50 families remain safely housed
  • Prevent eviction before displacement occurs
  • Reduce trauma and long-term community costs
It is more cost-effective — and more compassionate — to keep families housed than to rehouse them after homelessness.

Expanded Food Assistance

$80,000

What this supports:
Food insecurity affects families across Madison, Estill, Jackson, Rockcastle, Lee, Wolfe, Breathitt, Clay, and Owsley counties. Funding will:

  • Serve 1,200 additional people
  • Reach approximately 300 people every three months
  • Expand food boxes, mobile pantry services, and access to fresh, perishable foods like meat and produce
