BOARD LEADERSHIP18

July 2015 marked The Salvation Army’s 150th year in service, originating in London by philanthropic visionary William Booth. In 1879, 17-year-old Eliza Shirley introduced the flourishing organization to the Philadelphia community. Now widely recognized as one of America’s largest and most respected charities, The Salvation Army’s enduring ministry and mission to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination continues to bring about transformative change in disadvantaged communities.

Its holistic approach to serving the “whole” individual has allowed the organization to improve not only the physical circumstances of the needy, but also to enhance their emotional and spiritual outlook as well. From food and shelter programs for the homeless and hungry to compassionate care for individuals and families in crisis, The Salvation Army is “Doing the Most Good” for those in the most need.

On September 24 through September 28, 2015, The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services participated in the 2015 World Meeting of Families (WMOF) in Philadelphia, providing food and hydration services to thousands of first responders and municipal workers. Sponsored by the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Families, WMOF focuses on affirming the critical role that families play in society and offers opportunities for families to discuss the challenges and blessings they experience. The weeklong symposium culminated with a historic visit from Pope Francis who conducted a closing mass. As The Pontiff told Salvation Army General André Cox during a personal meeting in December 2014, despite theological differences between The Salvation Army and the Catholic Church, both have a shared dedication to serving the homeless, the hungry and the poor united through the love of God and one another. Pope Francis' visit to the City of Brotherly Love was a special event indeed, with The Salvation Army Greater Philadelphia lending a helping hand.

Looking to the future, The Salvation Army has undertaken strategic initiatives to ensure that it will remain remarkably efficient and comprehensively equipped to provide supportive services to the needy for many centuries to come. Such initiatives include a multi-million dollar expansion of its Eliza Shirley Campus which will strengthen its shelter operations in Philadelphia.

150th Anniversary 2

3 Greetings

Dear Friends,The opening lines of the manifesto of The Salvation Army state “I am doing the most good. I am hope. I am compassion. I am faith.”

By meeting the urgent needs of people in our community with food, shelter, clothing and much more, The Salvation Army is able to have an immediate impact on their lives. We can only do this because of the generous support of our donors and volunteers.

When you give to The Salvation Army, hope abounds.

Hope abounds in the lives of low-income seniors who receive nourishing meals and opportunities to develop lasting friendships at our senior support programs throughout the City of Philadelphia.

Hope abounds in the hearts of victimized women who have found safe haven at The Salvation Army New Day Drop-In Center. Serving more than 1,000 women since its inception in 2011, the Center is helping women to envision and attain a future free of oppression.

Hope abounds in the minds of families in the Eliza Shirley House and Red Shield Family Residence as they are supported in their journey from homelessness to self-sufficiency.

Hope is rekindled in the spirits of countless individuals and families who have received material assistance and spiritual comfort in times of tragedy and disaster through The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services. Our people were the first on the scene following the devastating Amtrak Derailment this past May in the Frankford section of Philadelphia. Our officers and emergency response teams remained through the night providing food, water and spiritual support to survivors and first responders.

To all of those who have supported the work of The Salvation Army in Greater Philadelphia, we offer our heartfelt thanks. We depend on you. We are also grateful for the ministry of Majors Robert & Hester Dixon over the past four years. It is our hope to build upon their legacy and that the ministry of The Salvation Army in this great city will flourish.

God bless you.

The Salvation Army Manifesto 4

Doing the Most Good

The Salvation Army is dedicated to enriching the lives of children throughout Greater Philadelphia.

Corporate partnerships are essential to our programming, such as music and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).

The Salvation Army Greater Philadelphia is helping local businesses take advantage of a unique opportunity to support its programs for disadvantaged children and youth, while receiving valuable tax credits. The Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC) authorizes tax credits for businesses that make charitable contributions to educational improvement organizations like The Salvation Army, based on the amount of Pennsylvania state taxes they pay. Eligible businesses can receive tax credits equal to 75–90 percent of its contribution up to a maximum of $750,000 per taxable year.

When your business supports The Salvation Army Greater Philadelphia’s music programming through EITC, you will greatly impact the lives of hundreds of young people like Brielle Jordan. Initially introduced to music education in our after-school programming, Brielle learned to play the violin through The Salvation Army’s youth band in second grade and eventually took up the alto horn and clarinet. Brielle learned how to read music and play multiple instruments, an experience that put her ahead of her peers in her school music classes. During her senior year of high school, she participated in a Corps’ senior band and her school’s orchestra. She also passed down her love of music by teaching younger children in our after-school programs.

“The Salvation Army has given me the opportunity to play in new places and meet people from across the U.S. and across the world,” said Brielle.

The Salvation Army Greater Philadelphia's STEM program gives children, grades Kindergarten through eighth, a hands-on education in science and technology, while improving their grades in school and opening doors to careers and opportunities in math and science. Through an innovative partnership with PECO and the NEED (National Energy Education Development) Project, students from our West Philadelphia, Tabernacle and Temple Corps Community Centers hosted The Salvation Army Variety Energy (SAVE) Fair. The event

served as an opportunity for the youth to educate the community on the importance of energy conservation. Students demonstrated this through presentations and projects, such as showing how wind mills generate energy and explaining which light bulbs save the most energy.

Since being recognized as an Educational Improvement Organization in 2014, a growing list of notable corporations including Elliot-Lewis, Verizon and Wells Fargo have joined in designating EITC funds in support of The Salvation Army’s project based learning, music, and STEM education programs for students throughout Greater Philadelphia.

“So many kids don’t have the opportunity to do different things,” said Ella Jordan, Brielle’s mother. “I’m so thankful for The Salvation Army. Their programs are really geared toward benefitting the community and the kids.”

Hope abounds through...ETO: Ensuring our programs and services meet the needs of our community

The Salvation Army Greater Philadelphia utilizes Efforts-To-Outcomes software, also referred to as ETO, to collect and analyze data from our social services, after-school and residential and non-residential senior services programming. This enables us to ensure we are having a true impact upon the needs of our clients and the community by delivering the highest quality of services.

For example, our Corps after-school program staff is utilizing data to improve education outcomes. This year, new data gleaned from students’ school report cards, PSSA scores and beginning-of-the-year testing is being examined through ETO so that staff can refine their programming to help students achieve the best possible outcomes, including tutoring and pairing low performing students with our new certified teacher. Data will continue being evaluated to identify what is working best.

“We work with the school district to help educate our young people and set them up for success,” said Major Migdalia Lavenbein, Citadel Community Center Corps Officer. “ETO allows us to address the needs of each individual student in our after-school program.”

By using our data to guide our programming, The Salvation Army Greater Philadelphia is becoming even more efficient in the delivery of services and more effective in enacting real change in our community.

“ETO allows us to address the needs of each individual student in our after-school program,” Major Migdalia Lavenbein, Citadel Community Center Corps Officer.

7 ETO Meets Community Needs

“They treated everyone with such dignity, showing care in every part of the process. You could actually feel the love and that has more meaning than anything.” – Bruce Riley, “Thanksgiving-to-Go” recipient

Hope abounds when...Feeding the heart and soul

While other families were happily planning Thanksgiving meals with all the trimmings, Bruce Riley, his mother, and his aunt were faced with anxiety and sadness.

“Some people are not able to do a lot of cooking in their old age,” said Bruce. “I know it was a major struggle for my mother. There’s no way we could have made it happen and it broke my heart to think of a Thanksgiving without a family meal.”

Unlike most Thanksgiving Day feeding programs, where all recipients eat together in a large community setting, The Salvation Army Greater Philadelphia’s “Thanksgiving-to-Go” program allowed more than 400 families to share the Thanksgiving holiday meal tradition at home in 2014.

The Salvation Army’s Soups On! Program, directed by Arlene “Wiggy” Olson, prepared the meals, which included a full-cooked turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce and dinner rolls. Wiggy’s team of two staffers, four Soups On! students and 15 volunteers worked for three days to prepare for the festive event. Teams of other volunteers distributed the food that was cooked with love to many grateful families on the big day.

“It’s so rewarding to know what we were doing impacted so many people’s lives,” Wiggy said. “It demonstrated The Salvation Army at its very best: Doing the Most Good,” she added.

Bruce and his family couldn’t have asked for a better Thanksgiving.

“We talked about that meal for a long time afterwards,” he said. “I’m quite sure that all the people who received those meals, every last one of them, have positive things to say about it. You could do no better!”

2015 will mark the third year for the annual “Thanksgiving-to-Go” event. The Salvation Army Greater Philadelphia plans to provide turkey dinner to hundreds of families in need, so they can enjoy the holiday with each other at home.

“The Thanksgiving meal was a blessing to everyone who received it. It means so much to realize someone cares about your well-being. That’s what it shows most of all, that someone is trying to help you,” said Bruce. “They treated everyone with such dignity, showing care in every part of the process. You could actually feel the love, and that has more meaning than anything.”

Hope abounds when...Garden provides seeds for learning, nutrition for community

The Horticulture Zone at The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center is like an oasis in Northwest Philadelphia. From spring through late fall, the lush garden is full of life. By mid-summer it is overflowing with sunflowers, green peppers, tomato plants, rows of herbs and lettuces, watermelons on the vine, and so much more.

“The goal is to get people to incorporate more fresh vegetables into their diets,” said Program Manager Andy Nolan. “We also want to show them that they can replicate this operation on a small scale in their own backyards.”

Ida Jenkins is one of 18 volunteers who tend to the garden. The 80-year-old West Philadelphia woman comes out for one hour, one day a week. Working with fresh vegetables, she said, is her favorite pastime.

“It’s so enjoyable getting your hands in the dirt, planting and seeing the rewards from your labor,” she explained.

In the summer, The Horticulture Zone also serves as a training ground for the kids at camp. Nolan teaches up to 100 youth about different fruits and vegetables using fun activities, such as how to create planters from recycled items and demonstrating the benefits of gardening and healthy eating.

"Unfortunately, there are not many places you can get fresh produce in these neighborhoods," said Nolan. "We want children to learn how to grow food to help them incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables into their diets as much as possible. I encourage folks to start with just a few, like putting some carrot sticks out with a meal,” he added.

In 2014, the Kroc Center’s Horticulture Zone harvested 5,000 pounds of produce, which was served in the Kroc Center’s café and donated to those in need in the community, including seniors, local families and Philadelphia area Salvation Army Corps Community Centers with food pantry and community meal programs.

“We have taken a vacant lot and turned it into something beautiful. It makes people smile,” said Nolan.

Jenkins considers The Horticulture Zone a true gift that is enhancing her life in so many ways.

“The Salvation Army has given me the opportunity to plant and garden. I will do it as long as I am able,” she said. “When you’re working in the garden, it takes your mind off everything. It just frees your mind.”

In 2014, the Kroc Center’s Horticulture Zone harvested 5,000 pounds of produce, which was served in the Kroc Center’s café and donated to those in need in the community, including seniors, local families and Philadelphia area Salvation Army Corps Community Centers with food pantry and community meal programs.

Hope abounds when...Safe haven provides a new day for victims of human trafficking

When you walk into the New Day Drop-In Center, the walls are covered in colorful hand prints and painted words like “growth” and “change.” It represents the positivity, hope and safe haven provided here to women who have fallen victim to the cruelties of sexual exploitation.

The Salvation Army’s New Day Drop-In Center in Philadelphia is here to lift victims up in their most difficult moments, giving them care to recover from emotional and physical trauma and the support needed to start anew. The Center is the focus of our effort to address human trafficking in Philadelphia. A vision of The Salvation Army since 2011, the center seeks to be a beacon in the community displaying the love of Christ for his people and for those who are marginalized in society.

"We want women to know that this is a safe space," said Arielle Curry, New Day Stop Trafficking Program Coordinator of The Salvation Army New Day Drop-In Center. "We want them to get what they need, but we also want to establish strong relationships with these women, which is an aspect of our work that is often overlooked."

Victims have access to essential items like food and clothing, along with a shower and laundry facilities at their disposal. The New Day Drop-In Center is also a place for women to connect with staff members and other victims. In the past year, the Center introduced three new self-help programs in which participants explore safety, emotions, loss and the future. The Center offers “Spiritual Freedom,” a group led by Social Ministries Secretary Major Martha L. Bone, to create a safe place for members to further explore ideas of faith and spirituality. Art classes have also proven to be a therapeutic outlet for the women to process trauma and express their creativity. Participants have made paintings, candles, and decorated glassware.

In order to help victims find their way out of difficult situations, The Salvation Army staff, interns and volunteers coordinate opportunities with case management and social services workers. The center is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m.–5 p.m., staying open until 12 a.m. on Wednesday and Thursday.

"A lot of women want to get out of these dangerous situations but simply don't know how," said Curry. "We want to encourage these women through small choices, whether it's choosing what to eat or choosing clothes to wear."

New Day Drop-In Center 10

"A lot of women want to get out of these dangerous situations but simply don't know how," said Arielle Curry, New Day Stop Trafficking Program Manager. "We want to encourage these women through small choices, whether it's choosing what to eat or choosing clothes to wear."

It is late at night and a family learns they cannot stay where they slept last night. Perhaps they have been sleeping in their car or with extended family and now there simply is not enough room for everyone. The Salvation Army’s Eliza Shirley House at 13th and Arch Streets is often the immediate emergency housing option for families in crisis. Staff assesses immediate needs, and from there begins the groundwork to help the family toward a safe and stable housing environment.

Once the immediate crisis is averted, families may transition to The Salvation Army’s Red Shield Family Residence, a long-term housing program on North Broad Street near Brown Street. The Red Shield serves 41 families providing warm and nurturing community living. The Red Shield is a place of hope and healing; a community in which a zero tolerance for violence is maintained. Staff utilizes the Sanctuary Model, a trauma-informed approach to care, allowing residents to focus on achievement of goals, emotional stability and the ultimate aspiration of self-sufficiency.

Marquetta Armstrong is a resident of the Red Shield. After multiple issues with her landlord, Marquetta and her three grandchildren were forced to leave their home without warning. They spent time at multiple shelters throughout the city before finally landing at the Red Shield Family Residence. It was there that she and her grandchildren found a home. “I’m thankful to have a place to stay and have the food that I eat, with someone cooking for us three times a day,” said Marquetta.

The Red Shield employs three case managers to assist residents to establish goals, save money and prepare for life outside of the program. “I absolutely love my social worker,” said Marquetta. “I always let her know what’s going on, and she goes above and beyond for me and her other clients. Whatever issue I have, if it’s within her power, she’ll help.”

With the support of her social worker and a safe place to stay, Marquetta is working diligently to get her family back on track. She hopes to leave the residence in the coming months and move into her own home. For now, she’s grateful for her time at the Red Shield. “I feel at ease knowing my grandchildren are not only safe, but well cared for,” Marquetta said.

“The Salvation Army is a beacon for families in need of housing in Philadelphia,” said Susan Brotherton, Director of Philadelphia Social Service Ministry. “We offer respectful, compassionate and non-judgmental services that support residents in their healing, truly providing them a fresh start.”

Message from the Chairs 12Message from the Chairs 12

During my service as the Chair of The Salvation Army Greater Philadelphia Advisory Board, I have been privileged to witness marvelous success and growth within the organization. As we gear up to celebrate our fifth year of service at The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center, I am pleased to inform you that the Army is indeed “Doing the Most Good” with your generous investments. Innovative programs such as Let’s Play!, our collaborative music education partnership with the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra’s Tune Up Philly initiative continue to enhance the lives and learning of disadvantaged youth throughout the North Philadelphia community. Beyond, the Kroc Center, our improved Greater Philadelphia Social Services Ministry is efficiently and effectively providing a myriad of critical services such as food, clothing, case management, education and enrichment programs, shelter, and much more for individuals and families in the most need.

As you may know, on October 1, 2015, I step down as Chair of the Advisory Board. What an honor it has been to serve alongside the many faithful and dedicated volunteers, officers, and staff of The Salvation Army! While my wife Joanne and I are excited about embarking upon the next chapter of our lives, know that we remain deeply committed to supporting the work of the Army, and I will continue to be an active member of the Advisory Board. My successor, Mr. Aaron Cohen, is both a fellow member of the Advisory Board and a gentleman with a great passion for the mission of The Salvation Army. As incoming Chair, Aaron brings with him strong leadership skills; interpersonal warmth, and high energy; traits which I am certain will help to lead the Army to its next level of success.

In the coming year, as we work to enhance our safety net of services to meet the growing needs of the community, your continued investment in The Salvation Army is vital. As I have often said, much of what The Salvation Army is able to do now and in the future is made possible only through the ongoing support and advocacy of friends like you. I very much look forward to our continued partnership together as we work to lighten the burdens of disadvantaged men, women and children, in Philadelphia and throughout the region.

Again, thank you for your support throughout the years. May God bless you and your family.

With faith and gratitude,

Raymond H. Welsh, Advisory Board Chair, Fall 2009–Fall 2015The Salvation Army Greater Philadelphia

Dear Friends,

I am thrilled to be serving as the new Chair of The Salvation Army Advisory Board. My predecessor, Ray Welsh, has left big shoes for me to fill. As a leader, Ray meets every call with a clarion response. The Ray and Joan Kroc Community Center stands as a symbol of his effective, steady and humble leadership. His dedication to improving and mentoring the lives of our communities’ youth is evident through his involvement with several charitable organizations that focus on improving the lives of children through education, community building and life skills training. Ray’s efforts are intentional, and effective. Chairing our board through some challenging times, Ray has often served as a consistent presence for The Salvation Army in Philadelphia, again not for acknowledgement, because that is what is necessary so that The Salvation Army can fulfill its mission to "Do the Most Good."

Ray’s mentorship has provided me with the strength I need to accept this calling to follow him as chairman. As I begin my service as Chair, I look forward to having Ray’s counsel and guiding hand helping me serve the mission of The Salvation Army, an organization that has become an integral part of my daily activities. The mission of The Salvation Army is more important in our society today than ever. I know that we can do better and serve more. The requests for help often seem unending, but we must look inside and realize our spirit and faith provide an unending capacity to serve.

I am looking forward to working alongside the new leadership of Majors Ferreira and the Corps commanders to assist in achieving their mission while increasing the visibility of The Salvation Army as a vital service provider to the Philadelphia region; during crisis but also every day in every community.

The Army symbolizes so much to so many, but few know our true impact. I look forward to working with the officers, the staff, the Board, volunteers and the donors to help The Salvation Army Greater Philadelphia "Do the Most Good."

Sincerely,

Aaron Cohen, Advisory Board ChairThe Salvation Army Greater Philadelphia
