In order to achieve the Army’s mission and effectively serve the community, we must have a strong foundation.
Our social ministries and youth programs are about establishing a stable foundation for the client and child. We provide
financial assistance to get a person through their crisis and back to a solid foundation. We feed those without to
give them a healthy foundation. We provide parenting classes and life skill courses to shelter residents, giving them
a lasting foundation when they leave. Our after-school and athletics programs work with kids to give them a sound
foundation for growth. We preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to teach people about good versus evil and give them
the spiritual foundation to lead the Christian life.
Simply put, The Salvation Army of Wake County is all about A Foundation for Good.
There are approximately 850,000 residents of Wake County.
We met the needs of 84,556 individuals in 2007, directly serving 10% of our county’s population.
The Salvation Army of Wake County has been serving the community since
1887, providing hundreds of thousands of people with food, shelter, clothing and
the Hope of Jesus Christ. Each year the county’s population grows—so does the
number of those in need. But every year the impact of The Salvation Army grows
as well—the statistics are profound. Yet it’s vital to realize that each impressive
statistic is made up of individual stories, lives touched.
And each one matters… every number counts.
Just as a foundation is established brick by brick, so is our work
creating a foundation for good.
Our Mission The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part
of the universal Christian Church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry
is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ
and meet human needs in His name, without discrimination.

Jack, age 65
A college graduate and once successful entrepreneur, Jack had lost hope.
In his despair, he believed his life had no purpose, his existence, no use.
A friend sent him to Major Smith to share his painful thoughts.

Every man has the potential for hopelessness… and for hope.
“The only thing I knew about The Salvation Army was people ringing the bells.
After seeing all the church does, I was astounded. Major Smith told me that God
has a plan for me—I’d never heard that before. I attended service that Sunday
and have rarely missed one since.
The Salvation Army has taught me that there is eternal hope—if you ask for it,
you receive it. And if you can’t depend on anyone in a particular week, day or
moment, you can always depend on God.”
I love this church and I love these people. They tell it
like it is—and sometimes it hurts. Now I understand what
loving in Christ really means. I am privileged and blessed that
God allows me to go through what I’m going through.

Dear Friends,
It is our pleasure to welcome you to The Salvation Army’s Annual Report for 2007. Throughout this resource you will find stories of hope, compassion, kindness and success. You will read
the words of those whose lives have been transformed — transformations that are possible only
with the support of generous contributors and tireless volunteers.
While preparing this Report, we quickly identified a consistent service and mission promise:
A Foundation for Good. Whether it’s our frontline crisis assistance programs, shelter for
women and children, youth programs such as after-school care, summer camps and instructional athletics, programs for seniors, seasonal Christmas Cheer programs, or one of our
many other community outreach programs and services, the goal is the same: to provide a
foundation from which the individual can grow, prosper and contribute to society.
As we consider the responsibility of providing a foundation for all who turn to The Salvation
Army, we next consider what that foundation must be. For each person, the need is unique
and urgent. However, one component essential to all is the good behind the service. In talking
with a struggling parent, feeding a hungry man or woman, or tutoring a child, they must be
able to feel the good in our touch, our words and our hearts. This is a part of The Salvation
Army’s national brand promise, Doing the Most Good. It’s not being boastful; it’s simply a
pledge. It’s also a commitment of the spirit and an all-encompassing covenant.
Looking forward to The Salvation Army’s future and its ability to meet the needs of a growing
community, we are reminded of the Army’s 143-year history. What we learn from this century
and a half of service is that the Army’s very existence and wide array of present day services
are a result of a strong foundation. And going forward, we pledge to provide all whom we
serve with the same strong foundation for a better life.
It is our hope that as you turn the pages and see the faces of lives changed, it is clear that you
serve an essential role in establishing A Foundation for Good. The strength of The Salvation
Army’s work is that it is in fact an “Army” of committed servants marching together in service to God and the community… and you are an invaluable part of this Army and mission.
On behalf of The Salvation Army of Wake County and the tens of thousands of needs met
every year, we commend you for your contributions, we pledge our accountability, and we
commit ourselves to a life of service in His name without discrimination.
God bless you.
In service,

The Salvation Army of Wake County: 120 years of fighting the good fight.
In 1887 The Salvation Army began serving the people of Wake County by
aiding over 500 prisoners in the state penitentiary. Since that time, we
have been providing food for the hungry, companionship to the elderly and
ill, clothing and shelter to the homeless, opportunities for underprivileged
children, relief for disaster victims, and assistance for the disabled, and many
more services to assist those in Need.
The Twentieth Century brought Depression, Wars and even Prosperity. But
whatever the climate of society, Need was ever-present. And The Salvation
Army was always there to comfort, nurture, give refuge. In 1929 we aided 1405
individuals and dealt with 1308 cases of family poverty. And in 1937, we were
able to purchase the Person Street property where our headquarters presently
stand. With soldiers returning from the European and Pacific battlefields, and
families losing members to the fighting, World War II brought a major increase
in the number of people who needed help. In 1940 alone, The Salvation Army
served 9641 meals, gave 4338 persons free lodging and provided clothing for
over 1000. By 1967 over 29,000 people were being assisted annually, and we
began construction on our new Community Service Center. Over the following
decade, the number served each year continued to rise.
Wake County continued to grow as a new Century turned. Yet there is still
no reprieve from poverty, despair, hopelessness. But we are still here, doing Good. We serve over 90,000 per year now. And we go wherever we are
needed, supplying essentials—tangible and spiritual, supporting the young and
old… providing love in action.
Today we stand at a watershed, poised to improve upon the Good we provide.
We are blessed to now have a literal foundation upon which to build—a structure
that will better house our services, programs and clients, giving us the opportunity to Do More Good. Our history is rich, our impact profound.
But it’s time to set a new benchmark, a stronger, deeper foundation.
A Foundation for Good.

Penny, age 33
It was in trying to care for her sister’s children, along with her own, that Penny was
evicted from her home. Although she continued to work as much as possible, it
just wasn’t enough to survive without help. That’s when The Salvation Army came
in to fight on her behalf. And restore the fight—and the hope—within her.

Sheltering families in the storms of life. And rebuilding amid the calm.
The Salvation Army provided the shelter, food and services so badly needed
in the life of Penny and her two children. The programs and services she
was offered nurtured her physically, mentally and spiritually. She completed the Jobs for Life program and was once again motivated to pursue
her dream of working with children. And thanks to the Christmas Cheer
program, her children experienced the joys of Christmas day, bringing more
normalcy into their lives.
Going into the shelter I was at rock-bottom. Who knew I
would come out on top! The Salvation Army is the perfect
name for these people… you can see the salvation in them as
they fight for your peace and blessings.
Penny continued to work hard as the Army also worked on her behalf.
She was accepted into the Circle of Support Program and her life began
to change immensely. She received temporary housing, a donated vehicle, prayer and lots of love.
Recently, Penny started a new job teaching toddlers at a daycare, and
has since secured an apartment and her own car. She has also accepted
Christ and was recently baptized.

designed around private family rooms, each with its own bath. The new Center will also offer residents a
state-of-the-art computer lab, library and resource center, age-appropriate care centers for children, a chapel

field and nature trail will be set amid the four-acre campus, giving children the opportunity to grow and
play safely. The Center of Hope will also dedicate more than 5,000 square feet to collaborative efforts for
basic education and life skills courses, parenting classes, substance abuse counseling, Circle of Support
meetings and other services to provide residents with a solid foundation for the future.
The Center of Hope will be a new foundation upon which our programs and services
can be built…A Foundation for Good.
The Center of Hope is planned to open in 2010. The new facility will serve as
The Salvation Army’s service center and headquarters for Wake County.

Through friends, Ada became involved with The Salvation Army senior
programs, traveling and enjoying many different activities. Her connection
with the group led her to attend Women’s Circle on Wednesday evenings,
and then Sunday services. Ada was always helping others, providing
encouragement and support when needed. Then came her time of need.

Loneliness flees when you look into the eyes of one suffering from it.
When Ada could no longer live in her own home and moved into a nursing facility, discouragement gave way to physical deterioration. The Salvation Army’s League of Mercy
became her encouragement, her rock. Through visitations, prayer and lots of love, these
dear friends became her family, lifting Ada to strength and health once again.
I look so forward to the days
they visit—it’s just so joyful to know
someone’s coming.
The League of Mercy visits 14 nursing home facilities in Wake County,
touching the lives of each and every resident. These dedicated volunteers
provide books, magazines, snacks and gifts with each visit. But more
importantly, they bring prayer, encouragement and love to hundreds of
elderly people in our community… reminding them that they have not
been forgotten.

Change one child, change the future.
“[Jessica and Justin] have come a long way spiritually and emotionally, as well
as with their behavior. They’ve developed so much—and it’s all attributed to the
Lord. They’ve grown closer to Him and He has guided them… their faith in the
Lord has truly changed them. They’ve had struggles through the years, but they
are both doing great now. And they never miss a single activity we have here! As
Jessica and Justin get ready to move on from the program, I pray constantly that
the foundation we’ve laid here will take them on into their future, and that their
relationship with the Lord will continue to grow.”
— Chris Kelley, Community Center Executive Director
I’ve really loved coming here.
And as soon as I can, I want to come back
and work here!
The Salvation Army Community Center offers kids educational, recreation and spiritual resources to
meet their physical, social, academic and spiritual needs. They acquire the necessary tools and
attributes to be healthy, self-sufficient and productive citizens.
18,573 children received tutorial
and educational assistance last year.

By helping, you are helped. By lifting up, you are lifted. By loving, you are loved.
Serving a hot meal to a hungry child. Visiting a lonely, forgotten soul. Ringing
a bell on a cold day to collect spare change — and change lives. Volunteer
opportunities abound at The Salvation Army. Every day, all year long.
Whether you donate your time, talent or money, your gift makes a difference
to another person. Hunger is satisfied, shelter is secured, hope is restored.
All because of you.
Of all the volunteer work I do, serving meals at The Salvation Army Soup
Kitchen is my favorite! I like interacting with the different people, and over
the years I’ve gotten to know many of the familiar faces. Just knowing that
I’m helping people in my own community means so much to me.
53,796 meals were served
to provide food to the hungry.

Who says there are no such things as Christmas angels?
The Christmas season is a time of happiness and celebration at the birth of our
Savior. But for many people in Wake County, hunger, poverty and homelessness
keep them from experiencing the joy of the season. Thanks to The Salvation
Army of Wake County, the Christmas gifts of warmth, nourishment and
children’s laughter are distributed every December.
I know that ringing the bell helps those who are less
fortunate, and it’s a great way to teach our girls that
anyone—including a child—can make a difference.

Today in Wake County, there are over 375 homeless families. Each year, that number increases by 11%.
And 9.1% of the county’s population is below the poverty line.
With your help, The Salvation Army of Wake County can continue to fight the battle,
to make a difference… setting A Foundation for Good.
“While women weep as they do now, I’ll fight. While little children go hungry as they do now, I’ll fight.
I’ll fight while men go to prison in and out, in and out, as they do.
I’ll fight while there is a drunkard left. Where there is a poor lost girl upon the streets,
While there remains one dark soul without the Light of God,
I’ll fight, I’ll fight to the very end!”
