SALISBURY The process to request help for Christmas this year will be done online only to minimize in-person contact.

“With the CDC guidelines in place, we still want to meet the needs of the people in the community, but we want to keep everyone safe,” said Karl Dahlin, commander of the Rowan County Salvation Army.

In recent years, families who have sought help from the Rowan County Christmas office an umbrella organization that accepts applications from people who need help giving gifts to their children for Christmas would line up at the JF Hurley Family YMCA. The volunteers would enter all the data into a digital application. From now on, the same application will be used publicly online.

The app opens Tuesday. Access to the app will be closed after 950 children have been served. It can be viewed on salvationarmyrowan.org. Dahlin and his wife Janice have created short videos on the website that walk families step by step through the process.

Dahlin said the app platform is the same as used in cities across the United States.

“Now instead of me typing in the information, they have access to it,” he says.

Families must upload scanned or photographed documents to the application platform to determine their eligibility for The Salvation Army Angel Tree Program, The Salisbury Post Sponsored Christmas Happiness Program, and The Santa Project.

These documents are an identity document or a driving license; birth certificates for children 12 and under or, if legal guardian, custody papers; SNAP award letter (food stamps); proof of all income and expenses; and a Medicaid card.

Families should write the words “NO SNAP” on a piece of paper if they do not receive food stamps.

The form can be completed via a desktop or laptop, tablet or iPad as well as a smart phone. Families applying must have a working email address.

Dahlin recommends that families take photos and scan documents before they sit down to apply.

Volunteers will check each request to make sure it is completed. Rowan County United Way volunteers will also be available via a telephone bank to guide families through the application process.

Families will be emailed a link if, for any reason, they need to take a break while filling out applications.

To learn more about the application process and where to apply, visit salvationarmycarolinas.org/salisbury/saangeltree/ starting at 9 a.m. on October 20.
