HOPKINSVILLE, KY – During this holiday season, The Salvation Army of Hopkinsville is ramping up efforts to support those most in need. This year, The Salvation Army seeks to raise $150,000 to meet the growing demand for essential services in Christian, Trigg, and Todd counties.

Every year, The Salvation Army of Hopkinsville provides 54,000 meals, 11,000 nights of shelter, 65,000 emergency food boxes, and many other essential assistance including rapid rehousing and permanent supportive housing to residents. The holiday season can be especially difficult for many, and donations are crucial to ensuring that no one is left behind during this time of year.

“The holiday season brings unique challenges for many in our community, but it also brings out the generosity of those who can help,” said Lieutenant Brittney Donegan, Corps Officer in Hopkinsville. “Every donation, no matter the size, is a step toward lifting someone out of hardship. Your support helps bring hope and stability to those who need it most – not just during Christmas but also throughout the entire year.”

Funds raised during the holiday season support initiatives like the Angel Tree program, which provides clothes and toys to children and seniors. Donations also help provide year-round aid such as rent, utility, and housing assistance for individuals facing financial hardship. In Hopkinsville, The Salvation Army also offers Support Service to Veteran Families, Rapid Rehousing, and transitional housing for those experiencing homelessness.
