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
Volunteer your time serving homeless neighbors by serving meals, preparing hygiene kits, distributing mail, and sorting clothes and more.
More Details
To get started on this incredible journey with us, you are encouraged to jump in at the Anaheim Emergency Shelter (AES) between 11am and 1pm. This is an ideal time for volunteers to familiarize themselves with the program and participate in activities such as serving meals, preparing hygiene kits, distributing mail, and sorting clothes.
We appreciate a minimum commitment of six visits from our volunteers, during which they can get a feel for the work we do, the impact we make, and the bonds we form. With time and dedication, our volunteers may get the opportunity to take on other roles within the AES or even work with us at one of our other locations.
Next Steps
We ask that all potential volunteers complete a thorough process before commencing their duties. This process includes obtaining a volunteer packet, undergoing a comprehensive background check, and completing a brief training session. We carry out these measures not only to equip volunteers with the necessary tools to perform their tasks effectively but also to safeguard the well-being of our esteemed residents, ensuring that they are within a secure and risk-free environment.
