from the Advisory Board Chairman

Serving as The Salvation Army’s Advisory Board chairman in High Point

this past year has been an exciting and rewarding experience. It has been

a great honor to work alongside The Salvation Army’s dedicated staff as

they tirelessly serve those in need.

But all their efforts would not be possible if it were not for your caring

and concern. Just as the needy rely on The Salvation Army, the Army

relies on the community to provide the necessary support to continue

our many services and programs.

On behalf of The Salvation Army Advisory Board and staff, I thank

you for your generosity in the past year. I trust that you will continue

to join with us as we remain committed to doing the most good in

High Point.

Sincerely,

Roger Sims

Advisory Board Chairperson

from the Commanding Officer

As you review the contents of this annual report, you will note the

thousands of lives that were touched by our many ministries last

year in Greater High Point. We were able to offer hope and new

beginnings to those who were in need.

Meeting people at their point of need and communicating the love

of God through practical expressions of compassion is the mission

of The Salvation Army.

It is a big job, and the needs will only increase as our community

continues to grow and change. But with your support and

encouragement, The Salvation Army will continue doing the most

good, carrying out our commitment of meeting material and spiritual

needs.

May God bless you.

In His service,

Tony Perez, Captain,

Commanding Officer

Social adjustment & development

The Salvation Army, 1865 – 2 0 1 0 A n n u a l R e p o r t

The Salvation Army shelter programs are designed to

meet women and families’ needs in a safe environment.

Underlying these programs is a motivation to identify the

causes of homelessness and work to alleviate or eliminate

homelessness at its source.

During a stay at The Salvation Army shelter, clients

will participate in programs and workshops developed to

promote self-sufficiency, personal development and

spiritual wellness. The Salvation Army also works with

clients to help them transition into a more permanent

housing situation.

On-site case workers, along with the clients, develop

an extensive goal-oriented program. Case workers

continually motivate clients to meet these goals. In turn,

clients are given responsibilities around the center, including

life skills and other applicable tasks.

Over the past year, 32,496 meals were served and 426

individuals slept in a safe environment throughout the

year from both programs.

With help from Logan Icenhour, a

local Boy Scout, another one of our

apartment-style shelter rooms has been

renovated. Logan completed the room for

his Eagle Scout project. Logan received

donated furniture and collected

donations to fund the project. Below are

pictures of the before and after. A BIG

THANK YOU to Logan and all of the

organizations that have helped our

shelter residents feel more “at home.”

With the rising cost of house, health care and transporation, today

many seniors find it impossible to get by with no savings and limited

income typically provided by social security. Many of the elderly live out

their years in substandard housing without care while succumbing to

loneliness and depression. The Salvation Army is working to change

that.

The primary mission of the 76 William Booth Garden Apartments

is to provide an affordable, safe, independant living commuinty for older

people. The professional and caring staff provide an atmosphere in stark

contrast to the isolation and risks often associated with public housing

independent living facilities.

Support groups, birthday celebrations, shopping trips and light

recreational activities are provided with Salvation Army staff to create

an environment that preserves the dignity and quality of life of William

Booth Garden residents.

William Booth Garden Apartments

Where there is no longer fear...

Home League

Home League is a weekly

fellowship club held at William

Booth Garden Apartments for

women of all ages. Service projects,

Bible studies, and day trips are only

a few of the activities the club offers.

Health Fairs

Companies and organizations

come to the facility, offering blood

pressure checks and other Medicare

provided supplies for diabetics.

Community Groups

Community groups such as

church choirs, other Christian-

based singing groups, senior

companion groups and even

a puppet troupe come almost

daily to William Booth Garden

Apartments. All of the programs

are held in the community room.

Financial highlights

Your continuing interest and support

may be expressed by remembering

The Salvation Army in your will or

through a wide variety of other giving

opportunities. For further

information and advice, contact

Donna Grove at 1-800-254-0229.

Every day, in many ways, men and

women engage in uncommon acts of

generosity. Once the decision to make a

gift is made, however, careful planning

will ensure the most cost-effective result.

Through conversation and

consultation with your advisers and a

Salvation Army representative, you

can develop a strategy of charitable

giving that works both to your

advantage and for those helped by

The Salvation Army. The Salvation

Army offers document drafting

assistance and trustee services

providing professional investment

management and administration.

Second Family Store Opening

After a successful month-long campaign last summer, FOX 8/WGHP

and A Cleaner World are partnering with The Salvation Army again to

help restock the charity’s local Family Stores. The permanent promotion

will allow people to donate clothing and other household items at any A

Cleaner World location. All profits made from the Family Store sales

directly fund Salvation Army programs that provide basic needs to

individuals and families in need.

In August, The Salvation Army opened a new Family Store in High

Point. The second location is perfect for donors to drop off donations on

the north side of town. The second store will be crucial during the hard

economic times and help get more funds for programs such as the Boys

and Girls Club. Store hours from Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to

6 p.m.

Over the past year, the Boys & Girls Club has been the hub of awesome

activity for the children who attend. The after school program welcomed

a new Program Coordinator, Shana Alexander, who brought in many new

ideas for programs and learning. The Summer Day Camp was full of

learning, playing, and growing! The season was full of field trips, which

included the North Carolina Zoo, Lazy 5 Ranch, Strawberry Patch,

Celebration Station, Ice and Roller Skating, Bowling, Carowinds, and more.

Activities at the Club included swimming, Vacation Bible Schools, basketball

camps, baseball clinics, kickball, reading, writing in journals, games room

play, computer games, and much more.

The school year features great programs for the students including learning

about character development, healthy living, various hidden talents, and

so much more. The Club kids have tutors two days a week to help ensure

they are learning all they need to be successful in school, as well as homework

time each day.

The Advisory Council hosted its inaugural Kickball Classic for co-ed

adults to enjoy a favorite game of their school days and put together a first-

class Auto Show for car enthusiasts. These two fund raisers brought in

thousands of dollars for the Club. Athletics at the Club continue to grow

under the supervision of our new Christian Athletic Director, Amber

Griffin. Exciting things are happening at the Club daily for the children

whom we serve.

A Child’s Story

“The Boys and Girls Club is a

place for both boys and girls to

express themselves in many

different ways. I think the Boys

and Girls Club is the best place to

be after school during the school

year or to be here during the day

during the summer. There are so

many things to do during the

summer and school year. During

the school year we do homework to

playing games. We do the same

thing during the summer we get in

the pool and or play on the

playground. I never get bored at

the Boys and Girls Club.”

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 room renovation done by a church group

or a Boy Scout. It might be a sorority that cooked dinner

for shelter residents. It might be a high school team that

planted flowers around buildings or taught baseball to

kids at the Boys and Girls Club.

Whatever form it takes, volunteer service is not something

to be taken for granted. The Salvation Army in High Point

regularly recognizes its partners in service with trophies,

local civic breakfasts, 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,

Salvation Army soldiers stand in the gap between the

haves and the 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.

Hundreds of Salvation Army

programs are made possible through

the time and effort of more than

3,539,000 volunteers nationwide.

Locally, The Salvation Army of

High Point had 6,644 volunteers

for a total of 16,491 hours. This

saved The Salvation Army

$119,559.75. Volunteer’s time and

efforts are valued and needed.

Food pantry workers, Corps

Community Center program

leaders, and Sunday school

teachers; emergency and disaster

services teams; Family Store

clerks; and Toy Shop elves are all

volunteers. And they come from

all walks of life, using their talents

to strengthen the programs

that serve their communities

and our community.
