Here are ways to support The Salvation Army in our mission of Doing The Most Good in San Diego County.

In San Diego, The Salvation Army's Adult Rehabilitation Center helps residents to combat their addictions, build work and social skills needed to re-enter the workforce, regain health and stability, and restore families that have been disrupted due to substance abuse.

Through holistic work-therapy, group and individual counseling, life skill development, and spiritual direction, residents learn to abandon substance reliance.

For over 100 years, The Salvation Army's no-fee rehabilitation programs have provided emotional, spiritual and social assistance to those struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.

The Thrift Store is open to the public and offers resale items that have been donated by supporters of WRC. Clothing, home furnishings, books and other items are available at bargain prices. In 1998, WRC opened our Thrift Store to help meet the needs of clients as they rebuild their lives after domestic violence and sexual assault. Our community has always supported us through donations of new and used items, understanding many clients are fleeing from abusive situations leaving with nothing but the clothes on their back.

Beginning May 16th, the thrift store will be open Sundays! We will not be taking donations on Sundays at this time, but will be open for shopping from 10am-4pm.

Throughout their journey our client’s need appropriate clothes for employment, job-seeking, attending school, or household items for their apartment in our Transitional house program. As we all know people across the country donate using garbage bags, this resulted in our families having to sort through piles of clothing in search of something close to their size. WRC believed having a thrift store where we provide our families with vouchers that are used “same as cash” to shop, dignified their experience and helped return independence, by putting them back in control with the opportunity to select clothing and other items that would best suit their needs.

4worldlovers: Brother Benno's is dedicated to serving homeless neighbors, the working poor, and seniors in North San Diego County by offering essential meals, addressing basic needs, fostering community outreach, and supporting addiction recovery.

Brother Benno’s was started by Harold and Kay Kutler as a Soup Kitchen in downtown Oceanside. They named it after Brother Benno Garrity, a Benedictine monk who was well known for his tireless service to the poor in the Oceanside area. The first meal was served on October 21, 1983; and Brother Benno himself made a big cauldron of soup at his abbey and brought it to the little house that bore his name.

Your generous contributions can change lives! Every financial donation, no matter the size, makes a significant impact. Learn how you can help us provide essential resources, support, and opportunities to those who need them most.
