Winter time is the hardest season for The Salvation Army. Our donations are at an all-time low. Help us help others. Do you have items you’ve been meaning to get rid of that have been sitting in your house for a long time? Renovating a room or your house? Are clothes and shoes piling up?
If the answer to any of these is “yes,” then why not donate them to The Salvation Army and be our partner in doing the most good? The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center ministries in the United States provide an in-residence rehabilitation program with a focus on basic necessities.
Each program participant receives a clean and healthy living environment, good food, work therapy, leisure-time activities, group and individual counseling, spiritual direction and the resources needed to develop life skills and a personal relationship with God.
Since the Adult Rehabilitation Center doesn?t solicit government funding, the ministry runs solely on the generosity of individuals, organizations and businesses that donate goods to be sold in the Family Stores (formerly known as Thrift Stores).
Proceeds from sales go toward providing important services for the program participants, helping them get back on their feet and live a productive life.
Please consider making a donation today to a store or a box near you, or call 1-(800)-SA-Truck to confirm availability in your area and to schedule a pickup time.
Boxes are located throughout the Brunswick/Topsham/Bowdoinham areas and can be found at Yankee Lanes in Brunswick, Doherty’s North Freeport Store, The Bowdoinham Country Store and The Topsham Transfer Station. Another option for dropping off items is visiting our Brunswick Family Store.
