The Salvation Army of Pickens reported the following statistics from the past year:
99 percent of those served were first time recipients
43 percent were children
36 percent were single individuals or seniors
24 percent were families
“We’re seeing an increase in the number of individuals and families coming to us to in need of the basic necessities to live,” said Autumn Shearin, The Salvation Army of Pickens Service Director. “We’re calling on our generous community to share what they can, so we can continue to help our most vulnerable neighbors get back on their feet.”
Pickens County residents benefit from the donations, as well as services throughout the year. Proof of income and expenses must be shared in order to determine eligibility.
Donations may be dropped off at the Pickens County Service Center located at 102 Stewart Drive, Easley, SC, 29640. Donors may also give online.
