Sheltering
TV Commercial
The Salvation Army knows that many times good people are faced with situations that leave them without a place to stay. With nowhere else to turn, Greenville’s homeless can turn to The Salvation Army for shelter and safety.
Women and Children’s Shelter
Our Women and Children’s Shelter houses up to 36 women and children who are homeless or battered. They are given clothing, meals, guidance and compassion. If necessary, they may be referred to other community resources for long term solutions.
Men’s Shelter
Our Men’s Shelter offers 60 beds to those who need a place to lay their head. We encourage the men in our shelter to work toward accountability and ownership of their life. We network with other agencies to assist the men in improving their employment and life skills situation. Additionally, the men have several opportunities throughout the week for worship services.
Dining
The Salvation Army also provides approximately 400 meals per day to men, women and children who reside in our shelters. This is yet another necessary service that The Salvation Army offers those in need.
Rehabilitation Program
The Salvation Army of Greenville County offers a 6-month residential program for 40 men who are recovering from the abuse of drugs and alcohol. They attend group counseling sessions, Bible study, life skill classes and worship services. The men have a 40 hour-a-week therapy assignment including work in the thrift stores, warehouse, dining room and maintenance departments. The rehabilitation program is a much needed and very effective offering funded by the sales from our Thrift Stores.
