Partner Description
The Salvation Army's mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination. The Salvation Army's Adult Rehabilitation Centers (ARCs) provide residential recovery programs for individuals seeking to deal with substance abuse and other addictions. They seek to help participants regain self-worth, learn how to build an orderly and disciplined life and become contributing members of society. Each program participant is provided with a clean and healthy living environment, nutritious food, group and individual counseling, spiritual direction, work therapy assignments, and recreational activities.
Need
Provide a warm, comforting welcome to individuals taking a brave first step toward recovery and healing! Arriving at a residential rehabilitation center can feel incredibly overwhelming, and incoming residents must complete an initial intake period in quarantine as they settle in. A personalized, thoughtful snack pack provides them with essential comfort foods and a tangible reminder that they are supported by a community that cares.
