From The Advisory Board Chairman

Dear Friends,

The motive for giving back is rooted deep in our soul. It is far more important than a tax deduction or write-off. It is our personal mission born and illustrated in Luke 12:48, “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.” As Chairman of The Salvation Army Central Arkansas Area Command Advisory Board, my fellow board members and I strive to serve according to that Bible verse.

As advisory board members, we are responsible to provide sound counsel that will ensure that our organization accomplishes the most significant and meaningful impact that is possible on those that we touch within Central Arkansas. We are bound to not only provide personal support, but to engage and inspire our contacts within our sphere of influence. We are called upon to meet human needs in His name without discrimination. It is a promise that we honor and consider in every aspect of the advice that our advisory board gives to our officers and staff to help reach sound decisions to advance the mission of The Salvation Army.

On behalf of my dedicated and talented member colleagues of The Salvation Army Central Arkansas Area Commands Advisory Board with whom I have the honor to serve, you may have the assurance that we are committed to helping those who are in need in Saline, White, Pulaski, and Lonoke Counties. My hope is that this annual report will inspire you to do the same.

God Bless,

Dan RankinAdvisory Board ChairmanSalvation Army Central Arkansas

From The Area Commanders

It is a JOY to welcome you to The Salvation Army’s Annual Report for 2015! While most traditional corporations address annual reports to their shareholders, we do not, because The Salvation Army has one shareholder…Jesus Christ! God brought The Salvation Army into being, through the inspired work of William Booth in 1865. The rest of us are merely stewards of that original divine inspiration- a sacred trust that we did not invent and that we cannot complete on our own. We are here to meet human needs. We are here to help transform society. And if we are here to lead, we lead best only when we serve most. The Salvation Army has its share of rules, regulations, and protocols. But it is also superbly flexible, by the vision and dedication of an Advisory Board and staff members, as well as hundreds of volunteers who are truly the hands and feet of The Salvation Army today. Because of that vision and flexibility, we are uniquely positioned to make a defining difference in Central Arkansas.

The Salvation Army’s mission of ministry and social service supports one another. Just like a bird, we soar only on the strength of both wings. Our mission is always to the whole person; we don’t divide or categorize an individual. Redemption is spiritual, physical, emotional and intellectual. Real transformation must involve the whole person. That’s fundamental to who we are, and it works.

We continue to rely on the generosity of donors (individuals, churches, and corporations) for our daily operations. In the end, it is our people who make the difference. Not just our staff members, but also our stakeholders: people like you. Everyone who shares our vision for transforming communities one life at a time- a commitment for DOING THE MOST GOOD- is a stakeholder in the work and mission of The Salvation Army.

God bless you!

Spirit of ServiceVolunteering

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 hand-crocheted afghan donated by an elderly woman, given eventually to a needy contemporary. It might be thousands of dollars in corporate grants to fund an important mission in Central Arkansas. It might be the unusual sight of a weekend biker with a 6-foot-tall stuffed animal that’s perched on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

Whatever form it takes, volunteer service is not something to be taken for granted. The Salvation Army in Central Arkansas regularly recognizes its partners in service 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, The Salvation Army soldiers stand in the gap between the haves and 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.

Volunteers

Volunteers are the heart and soul of The Salvation Army. Whether helping stock our pantries, staffing a Christmas Kettle, helping serve a meal in our shelter, or helping us distribute toys through our Angel Tree Program, our Salvation Army volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization. Volunteer participation helps to keep our costs down and allow approximately 82% of each dollar to go directly to our programs. Last year, The Salvation Army was blessed with more than 30,000 volunteer hours.

You can volunteer in many ways:• Help to cook and serve a Hot Meal in our

homeless shelter• Collect food for our Food Pantry• Organize a group for a cleanup day at one of

our Salvation Army facilities• “Adopt-A-Room” at our Center of Hope

Shelter• “Adopt-A-Family” or “Adopt-An-Angel” at

Christmas • Ring the Bell at a Kettle during our Red

Serving Central Arkansas

The core of The Salvation Army faith is firmly rooted in the phrase, “Heart to God and Hand to Man.”

As a church, the Corps (Church) is the center point of Salvation Army ministry. We offer the following services-- Sunday School, Sunday Worship, children’s activities, adult activities. The Corps is where our members (soldiers) receive spiritual training and outlets for service. Anyone is welcome to worship with us.

Homeless Services

The Center of Hope is more than a homeless shelter. Whereas we have 69 beds for those men, women and families in transition, we also offer spiritual and developmental classes. Breakfast and Supper is served each day to both the Center of Hope residents and the general public. We average around 120 meals each sitting.

Disaster Services

We hope and pray you will never need us, but if a fire, accident, flood, tornado or disaster strikes, The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services (EDS) Team is here for you. Professional staff and trained volunteers respond 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. EDS teams are on the scene within 60 minutes of the request for services. We are a VOAD (Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster) member and respond as requested by the State, VOAD, and at the behest of local government and first responders (fire, police).

EDS volunteers participate in ongoing training and serve in a variety of ways. Many individuals serve on-call or pre-scheduled shifts. Some respond directly to the emergency scene. Other volunteers fill support roles in communications, maintenance and training. Volunteers play a crucial role in the EDS Department.

Local Activity

In August, The Salvation Army partnered with Pulaski County Habitat for Humanity during their “Rock The Block” event to pass

out water to all the volunteers working that day.

Red Kettle Campaign

The Salvation Army Central Arkansas Area Command Christmas Red Kettle Campaign is comprised of the funds raised through the iconic red kettles placed throughout the communities from Saline, White, Pulaski and Lonoke Counties. The Red Kettle Campaign funds an average of 17% of Central Arkansas Area Command’s budget. The Red Kettle Campaign funds Christmas assistance and human service support throughout the year.

Volunteers and Kettle sites are desperately needed. For more information in either volunteering at a Kettle or providing a site, contact Justin Simmons, Volunteer Coordinator, 501-374-9296.

Angel Tree

Through the Angel Tree, The Salvation Army provided approximately 3,584 needy children with gifts for Christmas. This is a predominately volunteer-driven ministry.

The Salvation Army celebrated its 150th anniversary by hosting a Reception on Tuesday, April 28. Major Roger Glick shared about the many ways in which The Salvation Army serves the community—including Center of Hope shelter, utility and heating assistance, summer camp for children, a food pantry, clothing assistance and more.

So often people will say to me, ‘I didn’t realize The Salvation Army did that,” said Major Roger Glick, Central Arkansas Area Commander. “So many people trust us with their donations, but don’t realize the range of services to the community that we provide.”

Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson spoke about all the great work that The Salvation Army is doing in Central Arkansas. He also stated, “The government is unable to reach every single person or family, but organizations such as The Salvation Army make it possible for people in need to get help.” The Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola read the Proclamation issued by the Cities of Little Rock and North Little Rock for The Salvation Army. North Little Rock Mayor Joe Smith shared about how the presence of The Salvation Army has helped the North Little Rock community, especially in the Baring Cross area.

The Reception was an opportunity for us to tell our story, and to give a glimpse into the lives of others who have been enriched because The Salvation Army is there for them. We plan to continue to honor this milestone by doing what we do every day... Serving our community: DOING THE MOST GOOD.

The Salvation Army Celebrates 150th Anniversary

The Summit Church of North Little Rock partnered with the Pack Shack on Sunday, July 26, to pack 20,000 meals for neighbors in need. Summit Church gave all the meals prepared to The Salvation Army Central Arkansas to feed those living with hunger. More than 75 volunteers signed up to take each shift.

In 2015, The Salvation Army Central Arkansas filled 2,857 grocery orders to individuals and families in our service area, which include Pulaski, White, Lonoke, and Saline Counties.

“We are very thrilled to have partnered with The Summit Church and Pack Shack to participate in this food drive. Each of these entities is helping The Salvation Army feed the hungry in Central Arkansas. We will feed 78,586 meals this year. We are thankful for everyone at The Summit Church who has participated to help make this event a great success,” said Major Roger Glick, Area Commander, The Salvation Army Central Arkansas Area Command.

Honoring VolunteersEach year, The Arkansas Travelers baseball team blesses The Salvation Army with the opportunity to give back to the hundreds of volunteers who make our programs possible. During this annual event at Dickey-Stephens Park, we celebrate the service of our food pantry volunteers, shelter meal servers, emergency and disaster services teams, volunteer bell ringers and Angel Tree elves. They come from all walks of life, using their talents to strengthen the programs that serve our community.

Join us Tuesday, May 10, 2016 for Salvation Army Night at Dickey-Stephens Park.
