Woodyard Fund

Helping the neediest in our community
stay warm in the winter

The Woodyard Fund

The Woodyard Fund traces its roots to 1816 in Columbia, when the Ladies Benevolent Society provided firewood to needy families.

In 1930 the cause was embraced by William E. Gonzales, then editor of The State newspaper. Each winter since then, the paper continued publicizing the charity. Donations helped the neediest in the community stay warm in the winter.

From December 2019 through March 2020, The Salvation Army's Woodyard Fund assisted 229 households with an average payment of $318 per household and a total budget of $80,842.51.

Since the COVID pandemic The State Paper has not supported the Woodyard Fund as in the past and we are asking for your support to revitalize this very much needed program that the Woodyard Fund supports. 

You can help by mailing a donation to The Salvation Army of the Midlands, P.O. Box 2786, Columbia, SC 29202. Please designate this donation to the Woodyard Fund in the memo line.

Thank you for your support!

Where We Serve

We are The Salvation Army Eastern USA, which serves communities in Connecticut, Delaware, Northeast Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands. We’re one of four territories in the U.S. and part of an International organization, headquartered in London. The other U.S. territories are: West, East and Central.

Salvation Army territories are made up of areas of service known as divisions. There are 40 divisions in the U.S. – we oversee 8 of them. Divisions consist of centers for worship and service. These are the hubs where service to members of the community actually occurs. Our doors are open to all.


Quality Services

The Salvation Army Eastern USA headquarters conducts an internal process that provides review of all programs to ensure client satisfaction, program quality and that The Salvation Army National Social Services Standards are being followed with the oversight of an licensed Social Worker.
