Social Services

The Salvation Army Emergency Shelters operate 365 days a year and are primarily crisis assistance programs. The Women’s and Children’s Shelter houses up to 36 women and children who are homeless or battered. They are given clothing, meals, guidance and compassion. If necessary, they may be referred to other community resources for long term solutions. The Men’s Shelter offers 60 beds to those who need a place to lay their head. The men in our shelter are encouraged to work toward accountability and ownership of their life. The shelter programs network with other agencies to assist the clients in improving their employment and life skills situation.

For the out-of-work and for the thousands of working poor, Direct Services provides emergency assistance to help get families through crisis situations. Qualifying families can receive food assistance in the form of food bags, clothing, help securing life-threatening medications, financial assistance to pay rent and utility bills, as well as Christmas assistance.

The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club The Red Shield Boys Club was started by a group of volunteers in Greenville in 1938. The club officially changed its name to The Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club (SABGC) in 1991. Over the course of several years, the SABGC, in collaboration with the Greenville County School District, has implemented after school tutoring programs (Smart Centers) in East North Street Elementary, Hollis Elementary, Berea Elementary, Greenville Tech Charter High School, and the Main Club Unit on Owens Street for the specific reason of assisting children at risk of failing successfully complete their grade level.

All Club programs are used by professionally trained staff as “tools” for youth development and meeting the individual needs of every boy and girl we serve.

Every experience that happens, formally and informally, to a youth at the Club must be a positive experience in fun, learning and personal growth.

The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club is an affiliate of Boys & Girls Clubs of America and shares their mission to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

Men’s Rehabilitation Program The Men’s Rehabilitation (CSRC) Program is designed for the mental, physical and spiritual rehabilitation of the person. The majority of men who come to this center for assistance are having problems in many areas of their lives (i.e., social, medical, spiritual,personal, and employment). The common factor for most of these persons is that of addiction to drugs and/or alcohol. These services are provided at no cost. Program participants agree to a six-month residential rehabilitation program designed to deal with their lives and take their rightful place as part of the work force.

Participation in all program components is required by every beneficiary. We use work as therapy in the Family Thrift Stores to assist persons in learning or re-learning how to be productive, participate cooperatively, follow instructions, contribute towards a goal, and maintain balance. We use individual and group counseling to assist with character formation (a change of thinking and behavior). We offer spiritual direction to help the beneficiaries and encourage them to become established in a church community of their choice. Each center is able to offer other services on site or in conjunction with available community resources.
