Caring Causes - Salvation Army Clothing and Household Donations

 

The Salvation Army urgently needs donations of gently used clothing and household goods. The Salvation Army’s Thrift Stores rely on public donations of clothing and household items to fund its Adult Rehabilitation Program. Donations directly support the provision of essential rehabilitation services for those battling substance use.   The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center (ARC) has been in operation for over 100 years, providing rehabilitation services to communities all across the US. The Salvation Army’s Adult Rehabilitation Center is a 180-day residential program providing spiritual, social, and emotional assistance to people who have lost the ability to cope with their problems and provide for themselves.   The Salvation Army provides services at no cost to its program participants and The Salvation Army receives no government funding to operate the program. As such, donations of clothing, household goods, etc., from the community are essential to ensuring the continued provision of services in the Twin Cities area.   Furthermore, the repurposing of clothing and household goods reduces the amount of material going into landfills. The Adult Rehabilitation Center is able to resell or recycle the overwhelming majority of all clothing and household item donations it receives, which help fund the programs that restore lives.   Gently used clothing and household goods can be dropped off at any Salvation Army Thrift Store. Donations are accepted from 9am to 9pm, Monday through Saturday at the 11 Family Store locations in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Blaine, Bloomington, Burnsville, Fridley, Elk River, Hastings, and Rogers.       #     #     #   The Salvation Army Northern Division last year helped 260,000 people overcome poverty, addiction, and economic hardship through a range of social services, meeting human needs without discrimination. This year, new struggles caused by food shortages, inflation, increased energy costs and the threat of eviction have elevated the numbers of those seeking assistance.   By providing food for the hungry, emergency relief for disaster survivors, rehabilitation for those suffering from drug and alcohol abuse, and clothing and shelter for people in need, The Salvation Army Northern Division is #DoingTheMostGood at more than 70 operation centers in Minnesota and North Dakota.
