IMPACT REPORT Serving Sacramento County SalArmySacto.org
Dear Friends, If you look around, things are changing rapidly in the Sacramento area. We have a growing number of people and organizations calling the Capital City home.
Our Mission The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.
As our region grows and prospers, we also know that the homeless population continues to grow and that there are many families who struggle with employment and stability. The Salvation Army continues to be part of the solution for these populations. In Sacramento County, we continue to operate an emergency shelter program, plus 34 units of transitional housing. We provide low-cost preschool and job training programs. Not only do these programs provide practical assistance, but there is always casework, counseling and pastoral care available to all of our clients to help them on their path toward permanent housing and employment. It’s about hope and a second chance — and it’s our mission simply to love people. What a blessing it is to be part of such positive change. We couldn’t provide the services we do without the support of our community. Our donors, board members, volunteers and staff are truly the backbone of what The Salvation Army does in Sacramento. So, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You make Sacramento great. Majors Ivan & Jennifer Wild Del Oro Divisional Leaders

Programs Designed for the Community We Serve With a focus on youth, struggling adults and families in crisis, The Salvation Army of Sacramento has developed its programs to meet the needs of our community — and to further our mission of loving all people. COMMUNITY CENTER Located in Oak Park, the Alhambra Campus offers a variety of vital programs, including spiritual enrichment and worship services. Our Early Care and Education Program provides low-cost preschool. The Elev8 After School Program and Community Center offers a youth basketball program. During the summer, the Campus provides Summer Day Camp which includes recreation, creative arts and field trips; also dozens of at-risk kids get to go to Camp Del Oro near Nevada City for a character-building week of fun.
KOREAN CORPS
FAMILY SERVICES
Located in culturally diverse Rancho Cordova, the Sacramento Korean Corps has introduced its Community Hub. The Hub is a place where anyone of any background can get spiritual counseling and obtain services such as food assistance, homeless outreach, an after school homework program and an array of classes.
Our Family Services office provides critical aid for struggling families. We provide hundreds of food boxes each month. Our rental and utility assistance program provides crucial help in times of crisis. The Women of Hope initiative teaches job-readiness skills and provides proper clothing for job interviews.
CENTER OF HOPE
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
Our Center of Hope is more than a shelter; it is a place for people to get counseling, become sober, find local services and get their lives back. With 130 beds, Center of Hope is the largest homeless shelter in Sacramento County, providing veterans, women and men with a 30- to 90-day stay and a focus on overcoming homelessness. Clients receive case management and job preparation workshops. Our goal is to get clients into stable housing within 60 to 90 days.
We offer two job training opportunities that help meet high industry demand while transforming the lives of people who have overcome homelessness and addiction — and are ready to start new lives. Our Culinary Arts Training Program is a 16-week course that helps students develop kitchen skills. Our Construction Training Program, in partnership with Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. of Northern California, is a one-month, hands-on program that provides students with a comprehensive introduction to the construction trades.
E. CLAIRE RALEY TRANSITIONAL LIVING CENTER Families who are ready to work their way back from homelessness and into a life of stability have opportunities through our Transitional Living Center. This 34-unit complex provides families with case management, counseling and job coaching for six months to two years.
ADULT REHABILITATION Individuals with identifiable and treatable needs may go to our Adult Rehabilitation Center for help when they are no longer able to cope with their problems. There they receive adequate housing, nourishing meals, spiritual guidance and counseling, and engage in work therapy. Many who have been through the six-month program are reunited with their families and are able to resume healthy lives.
EMERGENCY DISASTER SERVICES Throughout the Sacramento region and beyond, we provide response services in the event of a disaster. Our goals are to serve those affected and first responders with immediate assistance, long-term recovery and emotional and spiritual care. We are equipped with a mobile canteen to efficiently serve those in need.
AS LONG AS WE’RE HERE, THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS NO PLACE TO GO Not long ago, Natisha, Joseph and their children were homeless, living in a tent along the American River. Any comforts of home, like a hot meal or a bed to sleep in, were gone. Their family was part of a growing population of homeless people in Sacramento. Needing to keep their family together, Natisha and Joseph went to The Salvation Army for help — and help is what they received. After an evaluation of their needs, the family is now residing at our E. Claire Raley Transitional Living Center. Our unique, 34-unit housing program helps residents cultivate vital life skills through structured programs and an opportunity to live in a safe apartment for six months to two years. Clients participate in casework, counseling, employment assistance and budgeting workshops.
“The Salvation Army has given us a roof over our heads,” Natisha said. “They have given us the responsibility to pay rent again. We got a second chance in life.”
“We got a second chance.” The family is very excited to have a place of their own where they can live and grow. Both Natisha and Joseph are now employed, and they are making plans to relocate into permanent housing, where they will start new lives of dignity and stability. “I can tell that my kids like it here,” Joseph said. “The way they interact, to be able to sleep in their own beds — all of the things you take for granted.”
Activating the Next Generation The Salvation Army brings a new generation into focus as supporters of its mission.
Although ranked as one of the top charities in the world, a decade ago leaders of The Salvation Army became aware that a wide swath of its supporters and volunteers were aging. They began to think: How can we tap into a generation of like-minded young adults? The answer began in Dallas, Texas, where a Salvation Army volunteer gathered their 20-something friends together and set the course for an auxiliary organization they named Echelon. Today, there are 23 established chapters, from Anchorage to Syracuse. Northern California now has its first Echelon chapter. Launched in July 2017, our Sacramento chapter has grown to more than a dozen young, passionate community leaders. Echelon members tend to be active young professionals who embrace the opportunity to network and socialize with peers while doing good. Events range from service projects at local Salvation Army corps to bell ringing during the annual Red Kettle Christmas campaign. Last year, the group took over the annual Bells & Elves Red Kettle Kickoff event at Mulvaney’s Building & Loan, where they added an auction and raised more money than the event has ever raised before. Upcoming events include their own gala and additional Christmas activities. We are grateful for their service, and look forward to all the amazing things these powerful young people are sure to do.

Board and Councils
Our Board and councils are filled with respected, local community leaders. The Advisory Board members volunteer their efforts to help the Army in maintaining good business and professional relations. The Women’s Auxiliary is a membership of over 40 women who help support our overall mission, and is the organizing body for the annual Helping Handbags Luncheon and Auction. Echelon, established in 2017, is our young professionals group designed to mobilize the next generation of The Salvation Army.
