DON’T SETTLE FOR PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR!
LOVE BEYOND ADDICTION.
Turning excess into hope, dignity, and second chances.
What We Do: Adult Rehabilitation Centers
Every day, men and women walk through our doors ready to rebuild their lives from substance abuse, homelessness, and hardship. Through care, structure, and faith, we help them rediscover purpose and hope.
The Salvation Army’s residential Adult Rehabilitation Center (ARC) provide integrated care—spiritual, emotional, social, and vocational—within a structured, compassionate environment.
Every year, our Western U.S. ARC network delivers 755,000+ nights of shelter, giving people a safe place to begin rebuilding their lives.
Because our program is 100% no-fee, participants are not burdened by the cost of recovery—funding comes through our retail and donation operations.
How It’s Funded: The Diverted-Goods Model
The Adult Rehabilitation program is funded exclusively through the sale of donated and diverted goods in our thrift stores across the Western U.S.
Corporate, boutique, and consumer donors provide excess inventory—clothing and goods that would otherwise go unused. Every donated item is processed, sold, or redistributed, creating revenue that underwrites vital rehab services.
This model not only enables recovery programs to run without charging clients, but also creates a sustainable loop where reuse and second chances go hand in hand.
How It Started: Our Legacy
Since its founding in 1852 by William and Catherine Booth, The Salvation Army has sought to bring hope directly to the vulnerable.
Over more than 150 years, we have grown into a global movement of service, now active in 134 countries, and 6,914 centers of operation across the U.S. country. Annually, we help nearly 24 million Americans overcome poverty, addiction and economic hardships through our range of social services.
While our roots lie in compassion and street ministry, the core mission today remains the same: meeting human need without discrimination.
"Above all, love."
