2008 Annual Report
hope [ ] The Salvation Army 2008 Annual Report HOPE [ The Salvation Army stands for hope; that, when every other light is extinguished, and every other star has gone down, this one gleam shines steadily and clearly out in the darkened sky: “If only I could get to The Salvation Army, they will do something for me.” William Booth Founder of The Salvation Army ] Dear Friends, Dear Friends, For over 120 years, The Salvation Army has served the greater Houston area, offering hope to those in need. Few of those years have presented challenges such as we experienced in 2008 . . . Hurricane Ike, a national recession and higher unemployment, among others. Yet through good times and bad, the Army is there to help all those who turn to it, constant in its presence and constant in its purpose. First let me express our thanks for your continued support in these difficult times. 2008 was certainly a challenging year for the Greater Houston Area Command of The Salvation Army. As did all in our region, we not only had the effect of the recession to deal with but in September Hurricane Ike came ashore, affecting hundreds of thousands of individuals from Matagorda Island to the Louisiana line. Over a period of two months, The Salvation Army served more than 2 million hot meals to our citizens throughout the area affected by this devastating storm. Along with material assistance, The Salvation Army officers and chaplains counseled and prayed with more than 3,000 individuals. The Army was not alone in this response. Many other organizations pitched in. Texas Emergency Management, FEMA, our local government in the area, our friends at the utility companies, and others did a tremendous job in moving our entire area back to something approaching normal as quickly as possible. While reading the six testimonials in this year’s Annual Report, I was struck by how The Salvation Army has changed each life. It offers compassion, and instills discipline, respect and accountability. But above all, it offers hope . . . hope to those from all walks of life who have nowhere else to turn. Who are the voices of that hope? You will read about an addict who was sheltered at Sally’s House, completed its 12-step program, and now has an apartment and a good job; a single mother who found refuge at the Family Residence, and now works for a government contractor, is married and collects toys for other Salvation Army families; another addict who through the help of the Adult Rehabilitation Center has salvaged his relationship with his son; and an alcoholic who now is Program Director for the Veteran’s program at Harbor Light. In addition, you will read about hope as described by two volunteers – a teenager who volunteers every day after school at The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club and a stay-at-home mom who volunteers in all aspects of our ministries. The Salvation Army is always there, part of the constant fabric binding, protecting and nurturing our community. And, like the Army, the voice of hope is always there. So many of those we serve simply need the Army’s care and support to find the quiet to hear that persistent voice. The biggest challenge facing The Salvation Army is that it is taken for granted. The Army is not flashy. But it is remarkably reliable and effective. We hope you will join together to support the greater Houston area and The Salvation Army . . . and to make sure the voice of hope can always be heard by those most in need. The recession in our economy has also caused a tremendous increase in the demand for Salvation Army services. For example, during the last few months of 2008, more than 800 people a night were able to sleep in safety at Salvation Army facilities here. Our financial assistance office continued to provide help with rent, food, and other basic needs throughout the year. Salvation Army Boys & Girls Clubs provided a safe and positive place for kids everyday after school as well as opportunities for study, computer learning, music, and recreation. The Army’s spiritual ministry continues as a basic foundation for our programs. Regular Sunday Services, Bible Classes, and other opportunities are available to all. Our transitional programs for men, women, and families helped over 400 individuals re-establish themselves in our community. We are profoundly grateful for your continued support, which undergirds the services of The Salvation Army in our community and without which those services would no longer be available. We particularly appreciate your support during the current difficult economic times as The Salvation Army continues to serve people in need. We pray that recovery will come quickly for all of us and we thank God for each of you. God Bless You! Sincerely, Sincerely, Marcus Watts Advisory Board Chairman Major Gesner Maajo jorr Marshall Mars Ma rsha rs hallll Ges G esne nerr Greater Greater Houston Houston Area Ho Area Commander C The Salvation Army Sally’s House Time for Transition Sally’s House is a transitional shelter for single women who have already completed an alcohol/drug detoxification program. It provides a safe and compassionate environment for the next phase of their recovery. During an average 6-month stay, residents must work or attend school and participate in support services designed to restore mental and physical health, upgrade professional skills and encourage independent living. Hope is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and learning I could be something more than what I was. I thought I was going to die to addiction. I grew gre gre rew w up in in a fa fami family mily of six siix children ch with a working abusive father. goofed w orking mother and an abus siv i e fath her. I goofe ed off in college and dropped out aft after fter e ttwo er wo yyears. ears. I sta started arted ed using crack cocaine while I was th there. here I went to jail twice – first for drug possession and the second for theft. When I got out the second time, my mom took me in. I started working again and going to church, but I was still getting high. It was when my family gave me an intervention that I went to The Salvation Army Sally’s House in March 2007. Sally’s House gave me structure. The rules were tough. But I knew that if I didn’t follow the rules, I would be back on the street. I learned about my addiction. I learned that I was a drunk and an alcoholic and that my life was unmanageable. I stayed at Sally’s House for one year and completed the 12-step program. I learned discipline and self-respect. I became accountable and responsible. The Salvation Army empowered me to step into independence. I have so much now. I have an apartment and pay rent. I have a good job and integrity. I have healthy friendships. I have my family’s love and support. Most importantly, I have sobriety and hope. The Salvation Army Family Residence Home Sweet Home The Salvation Army Family Residence offers sanctuary and a life-changing program to homeless single women and families. In a nurturing environment, adults and children participate in a full schedule of classes and counseling designed to address the underlying causes of homelessness and facilitate healing, thereby providing the necessary tools to return to independence.. Hope is providing everything I can for my kids. Giving them hope means getting my life together so they can have a better life than I did. I got ppregnant regn gnaant wi with th hm myy son when nIw was as 19. couldn’t myy m mom I couldn’t find d a jobb and and d co oul uldn’t stay with hm om any longer so sh she he d dropped ropppe ped d me me off at The Salvation Salvat Sal lv tion while pregnant with Army Family Residence R sid Re denc nce wh hille I was preg gna n ntt w ith my daughter at age 22. The first thing I thought was, “Oh my God, I’m in a shelter.” It took me a few days to adjust, but they gave me everything I needed. I took life skills classes, and my kids had clothes and food. I only stayed at Family Residence for three months, but those months changed my life. I stayed there during the lowest point in my life. I will never forget how I felt so lonely, but they made me feel like I wasn’t all alone. I got my life back on track and began working as a government contractor for KBR in Iraq. I met my husband while there and my children are doing well. I felt so blessed that I wanted to do something to give back. During the 2008 Christmas season, I asked my coworkers to help me collect toys for the kids at Family Residence. I made an online wish list, and about 75 people (here and overseas) participated and donated toys. We threw a party for the kids at Family Residence and I could see the joy in their faces. I hope to make this an annual event. The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center Rebuilding Lives The Adult Rehabilitation Center (ARC) repairs broken lives of men who are addicted to alcohol and drugs through a program that includes work therapy, recreation, worship, healthcare, education and counseling, both individual and group. Upon completion of the program, residents are ready to move into ARC Transitional Housing. In this phase of recovery, the man is preparing for return to family and community. The ARC operates six Salvation Army Family Thrift Stores in the area. Hope is happiness out of misery. It’s a future that I can see. God allowed me to remove the miserable past and showed me a future. My m My mot mother otthe hrw was as an n aalcoholic l ohol lc o ic aand nd aaddict ddiict an dd and d years Myy ffather worked left ft uuss when when I was was only onl nlyy si nl six ye six yea ears ar oold. ld..

I bbegan egan eg nu using sing drugs si dru rugss when whe hen I was was 133 and wa d quit school after tenth grade. I was a functioning addict. I got married and had a son. But I married an addict and she left us. I raised my son for 12 years until I got arrested for drugs. I was in jail for 11 months and was released. My son’s 13th birthday was one month later and all I can remember was getting high at his birthday party and spending that night in jail. For the first time in my life, I got on my knees and prayed. I ruined my son’s birthday and I needed help. The next day, I found The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center (ARC). They helped me overcome my addiction. I completed the one-year work therapy and rehabilitation program and currently live at ARC’s transitional housing while working. My son is 14 years old, and he sees the changes in me. My father and I talk every day, and I have goals now. I earned my GED and am taking courses at Houston Community College. I’m a happier person now and never want to go back to my old misery. The Salvation Army Harbor Light Center Road to Recovery The Salvation Army Harbor Light Center and Red Shield Lodge provides a comprehensive response to the increasing needs of Houston’s homeless and addicted men. Each individual is offered access to immediate and long-term shelter, medical screening and referral, and a spiritual approach to recovery and self-sufficiency. Many men celebrate their joy and restored faith in God by performing in The Salvation Army Harbor Light Choir. Hope is a dream and a goal. Hope gives you something to work for. I learned that I’m a good person and that I can never stop hoping. I starte started teed si ssipping pppin ingg on n bbeer e r wh ee when hen en I w was as 8 yyears earrs ea rs old. ol ld.

The bartender barten nder nd e told tol o d mee that th hatt a quarter quart rtter would wou o ld get me my my own glass. glasss. I was wass buybuyying my own beer at age 14. I eventually became the black sheep of the family. My addiction to drinking worsened and I blamed God. I was lonely. I had no family or friends, just bar buddies. I spent the next 25 year drinking and working. But one night, I finally broke down in tears and asked the Lord for help. He led me to The Salvation Army Harbor Light Center in 2004. Although the facility was full, they found a place for me. I enrolled in the one-year program and as part of my commitment to the program, I had kitchen duty. Each day I was humbled as I served the transients who were in the same place I had once been. I wanted to help those men. I’ve been blessed. My life has totally turned around. I have a support system here for all life’s issues. Now I’m the Program Director for the Veterans Administration program at Harbor Light and am taking courses to become a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Clubs Upward Bound The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Clubs operates six programs in the greater Houston area for youth ages 5 to 18. After-school programs, summer day camps, sports activities and teen programming are available. Members are offered tutoring, drug and alcohol prevention programs, computer labs and indoor and outdoor recreational activities - all within a fun, safe environment. Over 50 full-time and part-time dedicated staff members serve over 9,500 youth per year. Hope can come in different forms and can be seen as a result of courage and willpower. It is granted by the Lord, and there’s no way to go on without it. [Omri] My parents always taught mee aabout b ut the imbo portance ce of of volunteering. volu vo lunt ntee e ring. The summer after ninth grade, grad gr ade, e I wanted wan nte ted d to start ssta tart ta rt getting get etti ting ngg more active acti ac tive ve iin n th the he community soo I bbegan co egan eg an vvolunteering ollun nte teeer erin i g at The The Salvation n Army Boys & Girls Club that was within walking distance of my house. Although I lived so close to the building, I had never gone inside but was so amazed at what I saw. The summer program was so much fun for the kids, who where in a safe place while their parents were at work. My first day was exhausting but the kids loved me! I stayed on as a junior staff member and now come after school every day to help the kids with their homework. I conducted an extensive money management program for the kids. To get fully engaged, I joined the teenage program. This year, I’m the President of Keystone, a leadership group at the Club. Some kids get lonely when they’re at home, but The Salvation Army offers them leadership opportunities and teaches self-respect. The kids here are learning more than they realize. As I get more involved, I can see the direct impact I’m making in my community. I’m taking honors classes in school and want to be a lawyer when I grow up. The Salvation Army Corps Community Centers [ The Ministry Continues The Salvation Army’s founder, William Booth, began the mission and ministry of the organization in London’s poverty-ridden East End in 1865. Corps Community Centers, located throughout the greater Houston area, bring the ministry of The Salvation Army directly to those who need it most. In addition to social outreach, the ministry is realized through Sunday morning worship services, weekly Bible studies and outreach to the sick and ailing through the Community Care Ministry. Hope is a breath of fresh air. If you have hope, the Lord fills your every desire. Hope is inspired by God and is something I want to offer to others. I’m a stay-at-home stay-at-ho hoomee mom and have lived in n Pasadena with my husband husba baand d and kids for 30 years. I’m m a community volunteerr and aan nd am an active parent at m myy son’s school. I grew up in in a Christian home and nd hav nd have ve always been active in volunteering at church. There was still a void in my life, so I asked God for a mission that needed me. I then met my best friend, Ida. She’s my ‘heart to heart’ sister. She suggested that I look into The Salvation Army church that she attends. There was so much I wanted to learn about so I began researching The Salvation Army’s beginnings and was intrigued. My knowledge of the Army’s ministry was so limited before. The Lord has worked through me in amazing ways this year. I currently volunteer in nearly all aspects of The Salvation Army’s outreach. I am on-call for the disaster response team and worked four disasters in 2008. I witnessed an amazing Christmas outreach and saw someone that I knew in line for assistance. I realized the wide range of “needy” people The Salvation Army serves. I am a member of The Salvation Army church (Soldier) and head up the nursing home ministry. There are so many opportunities to get involved. I’m blessed God led me to this place. 2008 Statistics Financial Report Total Individuals Served 119,179 October 1, 2007 - September 30, 2008 Centers of Operation Family Stores Donor Contributions Program/Services Management ARC/Family Stores Government Grants/Fees Fundraising United Way EXPENSES Program/Services Management Fundraising TOTAL $24,440,088 $1,534,782 $1,683,969 $27,658,839 REVENUE 88.4% 5.5% 6.1% 100% Donor Contributions ARC/Family Store Government Grants/Fees United Way TOTAL $14,096,150 $9,882,116 $2,009,415 $1,719,442 $27,707,123 50.9% 35.7% 7.3% 6.2% 100% The Salvation Army maximizes contributions by using 88.4 cents of every dollar donated to provide direct services to the less fortunate in our community.
