2015 annual financial report - The Salvation Army of Arkansas

From The Advisory Board Chairman
Dear Friends,
The motive for giving back is rooted deep in our soul. It is far more
important than a tax deduction or write-off. It is our personal mission
born and illustrated in Luke 12:48, “From everyone who has been given
much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been
entrusted with much, much more will be asked.” As Chairman of The
Salvation Army Central Arkansas Area Command Advisory Board, my
fellow board members and I strive to serve according to that Bible verse.
As advisory board members, we are responsible to provide sound counsel
that will ensure that our organization accomplishes the most significant
and meaningful impact that is possible on those that we touch within
Central Arkansas. We are bound to not only provide personal support,
but to engage and inspire our contacts within our sphere of influence. We
are called upon to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.
It is a promise that we honor and consider in every aspect of the advice
that our advisory board gives to our officers and staff to help reach sound
decisions to advance the mission of The Salvation Army.
On behalf of my dedicated and talented member colleagues of The
Salvation Army Central Arkansas Area Commands Advisory Board with
whom I have the honor to serve, you may have the assurance that we are
committed to helping those who are in need in Saline, White, Pulaski, and
Lonoke Counties. My hope is that this annual report will inspire you to do
the same.
God Bless,
Dan Rankin
Advisory Board Chairman
Salvation Army Central Arkansas
From The Area Commanders
It is a JOY to welcome you to The Salvation Army’s Annual Report for 2015! While most traditional
corporations address annual reports to their shareholders, we do not, because The Salvation Army has
one shareholder…Jesus Christ! God brought The Salvation Army into being, through the inspired work
of William Booth in 1865. The rest of us are merely stewards of that original divine inspiration- a
sacred trust that we did not invent and that we cannot complete on our own. We are here to meet
human needs. We are here to help transform society. And if we are here to lead, we lead best only
when we serve most. The Salvation Army has its share of rules, regulations, and protocols. But it is
also superbly flexible, by the vision and dedication of an Advisory Board and staff members, as well as
hundreds of volunteers who are truly the hands and feet of The Salvation Army today. Because of that
vision and flexibility, we are uniquely positioned to make a defining difference in Central Arkansas.
The Salvation Army’s mission of ministry and social service supports one another. Just like a bird, we
soar only on the strength of both wings. Our mission is always to the whole person; we don’t divide or
categorize an individual. Redemption is spiritual, physical, emotional and intellectual. Real
transformation must involve the whole person. That’s fundamental to who we are, and it works.
We continue to rely on the generosity of donors (individuals, churches, and corporations) for our daily
operations. In the end, it is our people who make the difference. Not just our staff members, but also
our stakeholders: people like you. Everyone who shares our vision for transforming communities one
life at a time- a commitment for DOING THE MOST GOOD- is a stakeholder in the work and mission of
The Salvation Army.
God bless you!

Volunteering
When The Salvation Army hits the streets in our
community during an emergency situation—whether it
is a man-made disaster, a local fire, or the emergency of a
natural disaster—there is always an auxiliary contingent
of volunteers from the community to help. Often called
“the army behind the Army,” these donors are more than
just curbside observers.
Buttons reading “Doing The Most Good” are
regularly pinned to business suits, kitchen aprons,
overalls, and designer sportswear. The people that those
uniforms represent come from literally all walks of life
to offer advice, Christmas pies, strong backs, and large
donations.
It might be a hand-crocheted afghan donated by an
elderly woman, given eventually to a needy
contemporary. It might be thousands of dollars in
corporate grants to fund an important mission in Central
Arkansas. It might be the unusual sight of a weekend
biker with a 6-foot-tall stuffed animal that’s perched on a
Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
Ken Sutterfield is ringing bells for The Salvation Army and “DOING
THE MOST GOOD.”
Whatever form it takes, volunteer service is not
something to be taken for granted. The Salvation Army in
Central Arkansas regularly recognizes its partners in
service notes of appreciation, and sincere friendship.
But these volunteers know that the debt of gratitude is
reciprocal.
They know that by devoting their lives to service,
The Salvation Army soldiers stand in the gap between the
haves and have-nots. They provide an invaluable service
as intercessors. They are the vessels of genuine
compassion and concern on the part of society’s givers to
those who so desperately need that attention.
Volunteers
Volunteers are the heart and soul of The Salvation Army.
Whether helping stock our pantries, staffing a Christmas
Kettle, helping serve a meal in our shelter, or helping us
distribute toys through our Angel Tree Program, our
Salvation Army volunteers are the lifeblood of our
organization. Volunteer participation helps to keep our
costs down and allow approximately 82% of each dollar
to go directly to our programs. Last year, The
Salvation Army was blessed with more than 30,000
volunteer hours.

You can volunteer in many ways:
• Help to cook and serve a Hot Meal in our
homeless shelter
• Collect food for our Food Pantry
• Organize a group for a cleanup day at one of
our Salvation Army facilities
• “Adopt-A-Room” at our Center of Hope
Shelter
• “Adopt-A-Family” or “Adopt-An-Angel” at
Christmas
• Ring the Bell at a Kettle during our Red
Kettle Campaign
Local Activity
Serving Central Arkansas
The core of The Salvation Army faith is firmly rooted in the
phrase, “Heart to God and Hand to Man.”
As a church, the Corps (Church) is the center point of
Salvation Army ministry. We offer the following
services-- Sunday School, Sunday Worship, children’s
activities, adult activities. The Corps is where our members
(soldiers) receive spiritual training and outlets for service.
Anyone is welcome to worship with us.
Homeless Services
The Salvation Army serves The Great Thanksgiving Day Banquet
Dinner on Thanksgiving Day.
The Center of Hope is more than a homeless shelter.
Whereas we have 69 beds for those men, women and
families in transition, we also offer spiritual and
developmental classes. Breakfast and Supper is served each
day to both the Center of Hope residents and the general
public. We average around 120 meals each sitting.
Disaster Services
In August, The Salvation Army partnered with Pulaski County
Habitat for Humanity during their “Rock The Block” event to pass
out water to all the volunteers working that day.
We hope and pray you will never need us, but if a fire,
accident, flood, tornado or disaster strikes, The Salvation
Army Emergency Disaster Services (EDS) Team is here for
you. Professional staff and trained volunteers respond 24
hours a day, 365 days a year. EDS teams are on the scene
within 60 minutes of the request for services. We are a
VOAD (Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster) member
and respond as requested by the State, VOAD, and at the
behest of local government and first responders (fire,
police).
EDS volunteers participate in ongoing training and serve in
a variety of ways. Many individuals serve on-call or
pre-scheduled shifts. Some respond directly to the
emergency scene. Other volunteers fill support roles in
communications, maintenance and training. Volunteers
play a crucial role in the EDS Department.

Angel Tree
Through the Angel Tree, The Salvation Army provided
approximately 3,584 needy children with gifts for
Christmas. This is a predominately volunteer-driven ministry.
Red Kettle Campaign
The Salvation Army Central Arkansas Area Command
Christmas Red Kettle Campaign is comprised of the funds
raised through the iconic red kettles placed throughout the
communities from Saline, White, Pulaski and Lonoke Counties.
The Red Kettle Campaign funds an average of 17% of Central
Arkansas Area Command’s budget. The Red Kettle
Campaign funds Christmas assistance and human service
support throughout the year.
Volunteers and Kettle sites are desperately needed. For more
information in either volunteering at a Kettle or providing a
site, contact Justin Simmons, Volunteer Coordinator,

The Salvation Army Celebrates 150th Anniversary
North Little Rock Mayor Joe Smith
Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson
Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola
The Salvation Army celebrated its 150th anniversary by hosting a
Reception on Tuesday, April 28. Major Roger Glick shared about the many
ways in which The Salvation Army serves the community—including
Center of Hope shelter, utility and heating assistance, summer camp for
children, a food pantry, clothing assistance and more.
So often people will say to me, ‘I didn’t realize The Salvation Army did that,”
said Major Roger Glick, Central Arkansas Area Commander. “So many
people trust us with their donations, but don’t realize the range of services
to the community that we provide.”

Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson spoke about all the great work that The
Salvation Army is doing in Central Arkansas. He also stated, “The
government is unable to reach every single person or family, but
organizations such as The Salvation Army make it possible for people in
need to get help.” The Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola read the
Proclamation issued by the Cities of Little Rock and North Little Rock for
The Salvation Army. North Little Rock Mayor Joe Smith shared about how
the presence of The Salvation Army has helped the North Little Rock
community, especially in the Baring Cross area.
The Reception was an opportunity for us to tell our story, and to give a
glimpse into the lives of others who have been enriched because
The Salvation Army is there for them. We plan to continue to honor this
milestone by doing what we do every day... Serving our community: DOING
THE MOST GOOD.
