We have a lot of opportunities this year to give to those in need…Giving Tree, Community Hope Center, local food pantries, and Kindercottage.

Scouting for Food / Food Pantry Assistance

Please drop off your Scouting for Food donations during these timeframes.

Kindercottage

Kindercottage continues to succeed in its critical mission of helping special little people and their families. With their new census limits and additional cleaning requirements, their budget is stretched significantly. They are asking for help to continue the essential services in the East St. Louis community.

SALEM CHURCH CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE

At this unique time in our world, we must take extraordinary steps
to ensure the safety and health of all people.
In accordance with the guidance we received from the Illinois South Conference and the state, all in person activities including in-person worship services are suspended until further notice. This is due to the dramatically increasing cases on COVID throughout the Illinois South Conference. We encourage you to stay home as much as possible, limiting leaving for essential activities and wear a mask, social distance and wash hands frequently. These are things we can do to diminish the impact of this virus. Worship services will be available via LiveStream
Thank you
