2017 Report - Salvation Army Silicon Valley

The Salvation Army
Silicon Valley California
2017 Annual Report
Behind the Shield

Who Are We?
The Origin – The Salvation Army was founded in 1865 in
the east end of London by William and Catherine Booth.
They sought to bring salvation to the poor, destitute, and
hungry by meeting both their physical and spiritual needs.
The 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 to meet human needs in
His name without discrimination.
The Local Organization
– established as one of the
oldest charities in San Jose
in 1884, now comprises
five service facilities situated in Santa Clara,
Sunnyvale, Gilroy and two in downtown San Jose.

How Do We Lead?
As Salvation Army Officers, we are committed to share the love of God by providing impactful services
for those in need with the help of our faithful donors, dedicated staff, and countless volunteers.
Though much has changed over the past decade in Silicon Valley, some things have remained the
same. Individuals and families continue to struggle as the rising cost of housing means less dollars
spent on food and necessities. The Salvation Army today
remains as relevant as it did in 1884 when it first opened
its doors here in Silicon Valley. It is our hope that, with
your help, we can continue to keep up with the evergrowing
demand to help those in need for many more
years to come.
Thank you for helping us do the most good by caring for
those in our community.
Blessings,
Majors Roy & Paula Wild

Are We Effective?
Our clients’ expressions of gratitude say “Yes!”
Olga and Erica
“If it was not for The Salvation Army of
Silicon Valley my sister and I would not
be able to provide the basic needs for our
children. It is so good to know that when
things are tough financially, we can go
to The Salvation Army and receive help.
They always understand our situation, give
support and provide for our needs both
physically and emotionally.”
Dan
Director of Emmanuel House
“When I first came to The Salvation
Army, I was lost, homeless
and living a life of addiction.
It was during my time at the
Army’s Adult Rehabilitation
Center that I was able to find
purpose and meaning for my
life. After 16 years of sobriety
and now working as the Director
for our Men’s Shelter, I am
able to be a testimony to the
Grace of God and encouragement
to the men we serve on a
daily basis.”
MaryEllen and Joe
“My wife and I are homeless and currently living in
our car. If it was not for The Salvation Army’s Senior
Nutrition Program, we would not have a safe place to
eat a good healthy meal on a daily basis. At the Senior
Program we have found a warm, welcoming place
where we have made good friends and have a place
to go to keep us off of the streets. I’m thankful that
The Salvation Army of Silicon Valley provides a place
for seniors like us to come for safety and a place of
community.”
