Seeds of Hope
Mission Statement:
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 Salvation Army is blessed to serve and love our neighbors across King County. This year, we were honored to serve 71,000 people in King County. We expanded our Pathway of Hope program to break the cycle of family poverty and sent more youth than ever to experience summer camp.
We also provided 617,000 meals for hungry neighbors in need, helped 1,660 families avoid eviction and 1,037 people were placed in permanent housing.
In 2025, we will plant more “seeds of hope”. We are excited to expand our Hope Market client-choice food pantries and broaden our Street Level Outreach housing program in Western Washington.

From homeless to hopeful
Weary-eyed and numb on the streets of Seattle, Christian took out his phone and made a call that would change the trajectory of his life.
“I knew I really hit rock bottom when I was choosing drugs over my next meal,” recalled Christian. “I didn’t know how to get help. But I saw The Salvation Army feeding people and helping the homeless wherever I found myself.”
Christian’s lifeline was The Salvation Army’s Seattle Adult Rehabilitation Program (ARP). He called a taxi and ended up at the program’s doorstep, uncertain if he would be accepted or not.
“Even though I was feeling confused about how to change, I had faith that something great was going to happen.”
The six-month Adult Rehabilitation Program encompasses life skills, mental health counseling, financial education, nutrition and exercise programs, and community engagement through volunteerism. It’s a three-phase approach to recovery with the desired outcome of permanent employment and housing for every graduate.
Upon Christian’s graduation from the ARP in summer 2023, he completed a culinary program with Fare Start. He now works at The Salvation Army’s Renton Corps Community Center where he serves meals, cleans and maintains the building, and works as a driver.
“The ARP gave me the tools to step out in the world and get by in life. I’m now surrounded by people who really care,” said Christian. “It took something greater than me to have the courage to get help. It’s never too late to change. The ARP saved my life.”
2024 King County impact
With inflation skyrocketing and more people going hungry, The Salvation Army is receiving record numbers of requests for food and support for the most basic family needs. Our food pantries are struggling to keep up with the burgeoning demand for help as thousands appear at our doorsteps throughout our communities, many people now seeking assistance for the first time in their lives. More and more children are appearing – alone – as families shatter under the financial burden of trying to feed them. The Salvation Army focuses on each person and each family’s unique barriers to address the roots of their challenges. It is our mission to stand by those who turn to us for help during each phase of their personal journey, walking alongside them toward a better life.
617,043 meals served to those in need
Our food pantries and food distribution events are open to all, no qualifications or registration required

Maria’s Story
Maria is on a mission – a mission from God. After overcoming years of abuse and family trauma, Maria set out to create a new pathway of hope and blessings for her two young sons. That journey led her to The Salvation Army Eastside Corps.
“I was looking for reliable childcare with staff I could trust, because my son was being bullied and not getting the support he needed,” said Maria. “I immediately felt connected with The Salvation Army staff. They are always very encouraging, welcoming and supportive.”
Maria enrolled her boys in the Eastside Corps after-school program and received assistance with back-to-school clothes, Christmas gifts and food. Her eyes welled with tears when sharing how The Salvation Army has impacted her sons’ lives in only one year.
“Right off the bat, I noticed a change in their behavior. When they make good choices, they receive rewards and positive reinforcement, “Maria expressed. “I’m in awe when I see the staff in action. They always do what’s in the best interest of the child. I’m very grateful, and my boys are grateful.”
“The Salvation Army is walking beside me as I carry out the values I want my boys to take on to prepare them for life.”
Maria also appreciates how the Eastside Corps invests in her kids’ spiritual well-being by allowing them optional prayer time and self-reflection. She plans to homeschool her sons to help instill them with Christian values and integrity. She also plans to go to college to get a degree in culinary arts, nutrition or business.
“The Salvation Army is walking beside me as I carry out the values I want my boys to take on to prepare them for life,” said Maria. “My boys are safe, have a community that supports and cares for them, fun activities and snacks. What more could a mom ask for?!”
William booth society
The Salvation Army was founded in 1865 when William Booth decided to take his ministry into the streets of London where it would reach the poor, the homeless, the hungry, and the destitute. Today, his mission continues throughout the world. In King County, we are honored by the generous support of select donors who give substantial gifts annually – to support The Salvation Army and our life-changing work in the community.

Christine Bogard
Eastside Corps donor Christine Bogard has maintained a lifelong love affair with The Salvation Army. It started when she was eight years old, hearing the iconic red kettle bells ringing through the trolley-lined streets of San Francisco. In the 1970s, she moved to Boise with her fiancée. There, she met aptly-named Salvation Army officer Kenneth Angel, who officiated the young couples’ wedding.
Once she began her career as an accountant, she started donating to The Salvation Army, which she has continued for 50 years.
“I’ve witnessed The Salvation Army supporting people in need all my life. I give because they give to others every day,” said Christine.
Now that Christine is retired and widowed, she’s set up a Charitable Remainder Trust to help The Salvation Army continue its mission to serve and love others, no matter their circumstance or background.
“Giving back is core to what The Salvation Army is all about. Taking care of people; taking care of hearts,” said Christine.
Out of the dark and into the light
The odds were squarely stacked against Qiutrina. Yet in the face of seemingly insurmountable life obstacles, hope is in full bloom.
That’s thanks to the compassion and dedication of The Salvation Army’s Pathway of Hope Case Manager Elizabeth.
“The Salvation Army has given me hope as a human. They were my last hope in the situation I was in.”
A divorcée and cancer survivor, Qiutrina’s life was upended when her son, a single father, became physically and mentally incapacitated. She was thrust into being the primary caregiver for her son’s five children.
Qiutrina turned to The Salvation Army for assistance with child care resources and was immediately impressed by the support she received.
“It feels good to be seen and heard, and like people really do care. I feel beyond blessed,” said Qiutrina.
“We work with clients to help them set goals and show them that there is more to life than the way they are used to living,” said Elizabeth. “It’s surprising what people can do if someone is cheering them on and introducing them to new ideas and goals that they don’t have the confidence to accomplish on their own.”
In the year Qiutrina has been in the Pathway of Hope program, Elizabeth has helped Qiutrina’s family with food, rent and utility assistance, financial education, first-time homebuyer education, mental health resources, summer camp and clothes and toys for the kids. Perhaps most importantly, Elizabeth provides weekly emotional and spiritual care, along with goal setting and progress check-ins.
“With every single client, there is a way to infuse seeds of hope,” said Elizabeth. “Sometimes they just need a voice that tells them they can do it. Sometimes they need someone who will pray with them and remind them of all the things they have already overcome.”
Qiutrina has completed an online financial literacy program and first-time homebuyer training with a goal to own a home in one year. She’s also attending Seattle University, with financial assistance from The Salvation Army, to earn a master’s degree in social work, specializing in children’s pediatrics.
“I feel like I have the strength and courage to overcome my challenges because I have someone backing me. Her (Elizabeth’s) resilience makes me feel like I’m resilient. She brings out my potential and makes me want to learn and give more, for my myself and my grandkids,” exuded Qiutrina. “I came out of a dark space in a very short time. I feel like I’m not alone, no matter how bumpy or dark the road ahead looks.”
From surviving alone to thriving
Every day, Pathway of Hope Case Manager Amanda equips her clients with the tools, resources, knowledge and self-confidence to break the cycle of poverty and despair for their families.
The Salvation Army’s Pathway of Hope program is designed to help families break the generational cycle of poverty through access to housing, employment and education opportunities. Pathway of Hope can move a family from crisis to stability by pairing them with a case manager who connects the family to the services they need, including food banks, affordable housing and job training.
For single father Clint, his hope for a bright future for his daughter dimmed when he was diagnosed with a tumor on his spinal cord. After losing his long-time apartment maintenance job, The Salvation Army Federal Way Corps assisted him with food and financial support to pay rent and utility bills.
“It’s amazing to have the Pathway of Hope support system, especially when you don’t know if you are going to walk again,” said Clint. “Amanda has helped me create short-term and long-term goals and establish what I can do to overcome barriers and achieve my goals. It’s good to have someone keep me accountable, check in on my progress, and just be a listening ear,” said Clint.
Clint is focused on being a good role model for his daughter as he applies for Disability Vocational Training to become a truck driver.
“Amanda gives me a constant reminder to never give up,” said Clint.
“I went from just surviving on my own, to being part of a family when I came to The Salvation Army. Everyone here wants you to be successful.”

The Minklers
For every faithful Salvation Army donor, their reasons for maintaining their steadfast support vary. For Beverly and Keith Minkler, they firmly believe that The Salvation Army lives out its ‘Doing the Most Good’ mantra, in more ways than one.
As a young boy, The Salvation Army sprouted a seed of inspiration in Keith when he heard how the organization stepped up to help a neighbor whose husband fell ill while working in South America. When they had nowhere else to turn, The Salvation Army was there.
After serving in the U.S. Navy and getting a job in the trucking industry, Keith decided to become a regular Salvation Army donor, which he’s continued for more than 30 years.
The Minklers expressed how they deeply value that 84 cents of every dollar donated to The Salvation Army goes directly to client services and programs.
“If you want to support an organization where your donation goes directly to helping people, donate to The Salvation Army,” remarked Keith.
The Minklers are proud to include a gift in their will as a tangible and enduring statement of their values.
cultivating hope with local youth
Seattle Kraken Goalie Philipp Grubauer has been serving as The Salvation Army Northwest Division Youth Ambassador for the past two years. During that time, he has led several free ball hockey clinics for underserved youth across King County, at The Salvation Army White Center Corps, Camp Arnold in Eatonville and a free ice skating session at the Seattle Kraken Iceplex. He has also served as a Salvation Army spokesperson promoting the KIRO7 Cares Toy Drive.
Eight days after the free youth ice skating session with Grubauer at the Kraken Iceplex, Camp Arnold Director Jeff Potts was honored as a “Hero of the Deep” at a Kraken home game. Grubauer selected The Salvation Army to receive a $32,000 grant as part of the “Hero of the Deep” honor.
“Philipp has been a phenomenal ambassador for The Salvation Army and role model for the youth we serve here in King County,” said Northwest Divisional Commander Lt. Col. Cindy Foley. “We are very blessed for the time and support Philipp has dedicated to instill confidence and aspire local youth to dream bigger and achieve greatness.”
About our “Hero of the Deep,” Jeff Potts
Jeff Potts has been serving youth as a summer camp director and youth minister for The Salvation Army for 35 years. He served as The Salvation Army Camp Gifford Director near Spokane for 20 years, and he has served as The Salvation Army Camp Arnold Director in Eatonville for the past six years. Jeff is also a U.S. Army veteran and previous school board member for Loon Lake School District.
“To see lives changed while they’re at camp is very fulfilling and humbling. It’s always a privilege to be part of someone’s story – interjecting hope, purpose, and value for young people to carry with them the rest of their lives,” said Jeff.
Jeff has inspired generations of youth across the Northwest with a love for the outdoors, imparted leadership lessons, and spiritual wisdom that last a lifetime. Many children come to Camp Arnold unsure of themselves and theirplace in the world, and leave with self-confidence, life skills and new friends.
At a young age, Jeff experienced the loss of his fatherin a tragic planecrash. Out of tragedy, The Salvation Army inspired hope. During his first experience at a Salvation Army camp, he received the mentorship and guidance he needed from camp counselors, which motivated him to devote his life to paying it forward.
Jeff motivates young people to conquer their fears, whether it’s their first time stepping into a canoe, zip lining above the forest or learning how to cope with grief as he did as a child.
Last summer, more than 800 campers experienced Camp Arnold, receiving 10,200 meals, almost 5,000 hours of mentoring/classes, and 1,400 hours of internship experience
