The Salvation Army of Southern Illinois

Meet Our Founders - George Scott Railton

Due to inclement weather and road conditions our office and food pantry will not be open today.

With the continued frigid temperatures and the extreme winter weather, we need your help to replenish our supply of new or gently used blankets. Donations can be dropped off at our downtown Marion office or thrift store. Our office is open Monday through Friday 9 am to 4 pm and our thrift store is open Monday through Saturday 10 am to 5 pm.

Due to inclement weather, our office will be closed on Monday January 6th.

Meet Our Founders - Eliza Shirley ❤

I heard someone once say, "We are all just one event away from needing help. One medical bill, one job layoff, one car breaking down, one family emergency, etc.". These events can snowball quickly and lead to utility shut offs, eviction notices, or the stuggle of figuring out where the next meal is going to come from.
