One of our local Salvation Army family stores on Kirby Whitten supports the area's Adult Rehabilitation Center. According to their website, "For over 100 years The Salvation Army’s Adult Rehabilitation Centers and Harbor Light programs have provided spiritual, social, and emotional assistance for men and women who have lost the ability to cope with their problems and provide for themselves. Centers offers residential housing, work, and group and individual therapy, all in a clean, wholesome environment.
The physical and spiritual care that program participants receive prepares them to re-enter society and return to gainful employment. Many of those who have been rehabilitated are reunited with their families and resume a normal life.
Each program participant is provided with a clean and healthy living environment, good food, work therapy, leisure time activities, group and individual counseling, spiritual direction, and resources to develop life skills and a personal relationship with God as provided by Jesus Christ."
Random Act of Kindness # 21:
April 9, 2016I spent the day today cleaning out my recently deceased mother-in-law's kitchen cabinets. Not knowing what to do with much of the stuff, my husband suggested donating to the Salvation Army on Kirby Whitten.
The Family Store at this location only accepts donations until 5 pm in Saturdays. I barely made the window. But as soon as I pulled up to the donation drop-off area, I was greeted by a very friendly gentleman who unloaded my car for me, carried my donations into the warehouse to be sorted, and thanked me for my donation. It feels good knowing that money made from the sale of these items will go to such a good and worthy cause.
