Lilly Endowment assists Salvation Army’s COVID-19 fight
Helping families avert eviction, expanding homeless shelters to 24-hour operations, and other aspects of The Salvation Army's response to the COVID-19 emergency got a big assist this spring when the Lilly Endowment Inc. awarded grants totaling $15 million to the organization.
A $5 million grant was dedicated specifically to help residents of Indiana, Lilly's home state, and a $10 million gift was made to assist in the nationwide fight against the novel coronavirus.
