We meet the greatest needs. We operate corps community centers throughout the islands to support anyone who needs help – wherever they are.

We help kids be kids. We provide shelter, basic needs, summer camps, after-school programs – whatever it takes to meet the special needs of underserved keiki.

DRU G & ALC O HO L REHAB ILITATIO N We combat addiction. We provide specialized rehabilitation programs that help families and individuals take their lives back from drug & alcohol addiction.

BASIC NEEDS We fight poverty with love. We provide meals, basic needs, financial assistance, case management and much more to help those in need get back on their feet.

In 2020, The Salvation Army opened its doors and its heart to provide hope to hundreds of thousands throughout the islands. We fed children, provided shelter and treatment to those suffering with addiction, offered rich programming and opportunities for young people in communities across the state, and so much more. Our work is made possible by the generosity and commitment of donors and supporters — those who give during the holidays, those who support our programs year after year, and those who remember our work in their estate planning. It is a shared kuleana that makes it possible to reach the unreached and leave a better community for future generations. We meet the greatest needs for our local island communities through our work in eight key areas...

We break cycles of crisis. We provide housing, jobs, and a community of support for those in transition to finally break the cycle of poverty and drug addiction.

We are there before, during, and after disasters to serve immediate physical needs, as well as provide emotional and spiritual care.

S ENIO R S ERVIC ES We provide seniors with social, recreational, day care, and therapeutic environments, as well as an affordable housing complex.

HOL IDAY SUPPORT We provide holiday support and gifts so families don’t have to choose between paying the bills or buying presents for their keiki and kupuna.

TOGETHER Hawaii Cattlemen’s Council, Inc. — with locations on Kauai, Hawaii Island, Maui, and Oahu —

recognized a need amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and donated more than 20,000 pounds of beef. Our Corps Community Centers utilized those donations to create thousands of prepared meals that were distributed to those in need.

Cattlemen’s Council Provides Thousands of Meals “It’s with a grateful nod and a tip of our hats to the members of the Hawaii Cattlemen’s Council that we thank them for their generous support of our feeding programs across the state,” said Major Jeff Martin, Divisional Commander of The Salvation Army Hawaiian & Pacific Islands. “We received nearly 28,000 pounds of beef, allowing us to provide more than 73,000 meals in our island communities.” “Mahalo to our generous members who didn’t hesitate to contribute to this effort,” said Jeri Moniz, Marketing Chair of the Hawaii Cattlemen’s Council. “Every rancher we asked agreed to donate an animal.” 7


TOGETHER Programs include classes at the Kroc Center Hawaii Corps youth ministry, summer and

after-school feeding cooperatives, seasonal camp activities at Camp Homelani, Safehouse programs, Family Intervention Services and more.

outpatient treatments give people in recovery the tools they need to break the shackles of addiction and start anew. Lives are saved, families are reunited, and physical and spiritual health is achieved — all because we walk beside our clients toward health and sobriety.

Chico Finds a Second Chance in The Salvation Army Drug promotion in the third degree and illegal possession of a loaded firearm landed Chico Garcia, a father of two, in jail. His chance of early release was reliant on one thing: acceptance into and successful completion of a treatment program. Chico entered The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center (ARC), where he attended chapel services and worked through the issues that put him there in the first place. “I went from being a drug addict/drug dealer to being highly active in bible studies and fellowships, and I have my children and I can actually be a father to them,” he says. “When no one gave me a chance, The Salvation Army did.” *pre-covid image

Breaking the vicious cycle of poverty and crisis requires more than services; it requires hope. The Salvation Army Pathway of Hope initiative and The Salvation Army’s network of services

guide families through the support they need — jobs, housing, case management, counseling, treatment services, and child services — while connecting them with a supportive community that listens, understands, and offers guidance and hope. We don’t simply address symptoms; we find the root cause. Then, through love, spiritual counseling, physical healing, child services, and treatment, we guide families to safe harbor where their lives can begin anew.

The Salvation Army Helped Aulani Turn Her Life Around Aulani suffered verbal and physical abuse for 20 years — but removing herself from that situation left her living in a tent at Waimanalo Beach Park with her three young children. About four months into their time at the beach park, Aulani was put in touch with The Salvation Army’s Pathway of Hope program. Within two weeks, she and her keiki were living in a house in Kailua. “I’m very grateful for The Salvation Army,” she says. “They helped me get back on my feet and I was able to push forward for my kids.” With The Salvation Army’s support, Aulani has completely turned their situation around; she even received a promotion and raise at work. “We still struggle,” she says, “but we’re together. I was very blessed — God was on my side.” 12

Today, he is enjoying retirement with his wife. “(The) wonderful retirement that we’re experiencing is all because of God’s amazing grace and it started (at Camp Homelani),” he says. 17

LEADERSHIP Our leadership team, the army behind The Army, brings together dedicated volunteers whose deep knowledge of the community, areas of professional expertise, and deeply held commitment to our most vulnerable neighbors make it possible for us to bring help, hope and renewed purpose to people across our islands.

Officers Making a Difference in Guam In 2020, Captains Eric and Kari Rudd celebrated their eleventh year of officership as the new leaders of The Salvation Army in Guam and Micronesia. “We have people here living in abject poverty and we go out and visit them every week,” says Captain Kari Rudd, Corps Officer, Micronesia Coordinator. They don’t have electricity; they’re running water out of a hose that they use to bathe and do laundry. They’re happy for whatever we bring them. It really sort of gives you some perspective on things.” She and Eric have taught Sunday school and been involved with various other aspects of the church in the past, but she says they have truly found their place with The Salvation Army. “This is where we belong,” she says. 21
