from the Advisory Board Chairman
Serving as The Salvation Army’s Advisory Board chairman in High Point
this past year has been an exciting and rewarding experience. It has been
a great honor to work alongside The Salvation Army’s dedicated staff as
they tirelessly serve those in need.
But all their efforts would not be possible if it were not for your caring
and concern. Just as the needy rely on The Salvation Army, the Army
relies on the community to provide the necessary support to continue
our many services and programs.
On behalf of The Salvation Army Advisory Board and staff, I thank
you for your generosity in the past year. I trust that you will continue
to join with us as we remain committed to doing the most good in
High Point.
Sincerely,
Roger Sims
Advisory Board Chairperson
from the Commanding Officer
As you review the contents of this annual report, you will note the
thousands of lives that were touched by our many ministries last
year in Greater High Point. We were able to offer hope and new
beginnings to those who were in need.
Meeting people at their point of need and communicating the love
of God through practical expressions of compassion is the mission
of The Salvation Army.
It is a big job, and the needs will only increase as our community
continues to grow and change. But with your support and
encouragement, The Salvation Army will continue doing the most
good, carrying out our commitment of meeting material and spiritual
needs.
May God bless you.
In His service,
Tony Perez, Captain,
Commanding Officer

The Salvation Army, 1865 – 2 0 1 0 A n n u a l R e p o r t
The Salvation Army shelter programs are designed to
meet women and families’ needs in a safe environment.
Underlying these programs is a motivation to identify the
causes of homelessness and work to alleviate or eliminate
homelessness at its source.
During a stay at The Salvation Army shelter, clients
will participate in programs and workshops developed to
promote self-sufficiency, personal development and
spiritual wellness. The Salvation Army also works with
clients to help them transition into a more permanent
housing situation.
On-site case workers, along with the clients, develop
an extensive goal-oriented program. Case workers
continually motivate clients to meet these goals. In turn,
clients are given responsibilities around the center, including
life skills and other applicable tasks.
Over the past year, 32,496 meals were served and 426
individuals slept in a safe environment throughout the
year from both programs.
With help from Logan Icenhour, a
local Boy Scout, another one of our
apartment-style shelter rooms has been
renovated. Logan completed the room for
his Eagle Scout project. Logan received
donated furniture and collected
donations to fund the project. Below are
pictures of the before and after. A BIG
THANK YOU to Logan and all of the
organizations that have helped our
shelter residents feel more “at home.”

With the rising cost of house, health care and transporation, today
many seniors find it impossible to get by with no savings and limited
income typically provided by social security. Many of the elderly live out
their years in substandard housing without care while succumbing to
loneliness and depression. The Salvation Army is working to change
that.
The primary mission of the 76 William Booth Garden Apartments
is to provide an affordable, safe, independant living commuinty for older
people. The professional and caring staff provide an atmosphere in stark
contrast to the isolation and risks often associated with public housing
independent living facilities.
Support groups, birthday celebrations, shopping trips and light
recreational activities are provided with Salvation Army staff to create
an environment that preserves the dignity and quality of life of William
Booth Garden residents.

Where there is no longer fear...
Home League
Home League is a weekly
fellowship club held at William
Booth Garden Apartments for
women of all ages. Service projects,
Bible studies, and day trips are only
a few of the activities the club offers.
Health Fairs
Companies and organizations
come to the facility, offering blood
pressure checks and other Medicare
provided supplies for diabetics.
Community Groups
Community groups such as
church choirs, other Christian-
based singing groups, senior
companion groups and even
a puppet troupe come almost
daily to William Booth Garden
Apartments. All of the programs
are held in the community room.

Financial highlights
Your continuing interest and support
may be expressed by remembering
The Salvation Army in your will or
through a wide variety of other giving
opportunities. For further
information and advice, contact
Donna Grove at 1-800-254-0229.
Every day, in many ways, men and
women engage in uncommon acts of
generosity. Once the decision to make a
gift is made, however, careful planning
will ensure the most cost-effective result.
Through conversation and
consultation with your advisers and a
Salvation Army representative, you
can develop a strategy of charitable
giving that works both to your
advantage and for those helped by
The Salvation Army. The Salvation
Army offers document drafting
assistance and trustee services
providing professional investment
management and administration.

Second Family Store Opening
After a successful month-long campaign last summer, FOX 8/WGHP
and A Cleaner World are partnering with The Salvation Army again to
help restock the charity’s local Family Stores. The permanent promotion
will allow people to donate clothing and other household items at any A
Cleaner World location. All profits made from the Family Store sales
directly fund Salvation Army programs that provide basic needs to
individuals and families in need.
In August, The Salvation Army opened a new Family Store in High
Point. The second location is perfect for donors to drop off donations on
the north side of town. The second store will be crucial during the hard
economic times and help get more funds for programs such as the Boys
and Girls Club. Store hours from Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to
6 p.m.

Over the past year, the Boys & Girls Club has been the hub of awesome
activity for the children who attend. The after school program welcomed
a new Program Coordinator, Shana Alexander, who brought in many new
ideas for programs and learning. The Summer Day Camp was full of
learning, playing, and growing! The season was full of field trips, which
included the North Carolina Zoo, Lazy 5 Ranch, Strawberry Patch,
Celebration Station, Ice and Roller Skating, Bowling, Carowinds, and more.
Activities at the Club included swimming, Vacation Bible Schools, basketball
camps, baseball clinics, kickball, reading, writing in journals, games room
play, computer games, and much more.
The school year features great programs for the students including learning
about character development, healthy living, various hidden talents, and
so much more. The Club kids have tutors two days a week to help ensure
they are learning all they need to be successful in school, as well as homework
time each day.
The Advisory Council hosted its inaugural Kickball Classic for co-ed
adults to enjoy a favorite game of their school days and put together a first-
class Auto Show for car enthusiasts. These two fund raisers brought in
thousands of dollars for the Club. Athletics at the Club continue to grow
under the supervision of our new Christian Athletic Director, Amber
Griffin. Exciting things are happening at the Club daily for the children
whom we serve.

A Child’s Story
“The Boys and Girls Club is a
place for both boys and girls to
express themselves in many
different ways. I think the Boys
and Girls Club is the best place to
be after school during the school
year or to be here during the day
during the summer. There are so
many things to do during the
summer and school year. During
the school year we do homework to
playing games. We do the same
thing during the summer we get in
the pool and or play on the
playground. I never get bored at
the Boys and Girls Club.”

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 room renovation done by a church group
or a Boy Scout. It might be a sorority that cooked dinner
for shelter residents. It might be a high school team that
planted flowers around buildings or taught baseball to
kids at the Boys and Girls Club.
Whatever form it takes, volunteer service is not something
to be taken for granted. The Salvation Army in High Point
regularly recognizes its partners in service with trophies,
local civic breakfasts, 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,
Salvation Army soldiers stand in the gap between the
haves and the 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.
Hundreds of Salvation Army
programs are made possible through
the time and effort of more than
3,539,000 volunteers nationwide.
Locally, The Salvation Army of
High Point had 6,644 volunteers
for a total of 16,491 hours. This
saved The Salvation Army
$119,559.75. Volunteer’s time and
efforts are valued and needed.
Food pantry workers, Corps
Community Center program
leaders, and Sunday school
teachers; emergency and disaster
services teams; Family Store
clerks; and Toy Shop elves are all
volunteers. And they come from
all walks of life, using their talents
to strengthen the programs
that serve their communities
and our community.
