The Salvation Army trucks that you see all over town are not affiliated with our Christmas program. These trucks are owned and operated by the Adult Rehabilitation Center (ARC). The ARC serves chemically dependent individuals through counseling, work therapy, and recreational activities. The center is self-supporting and depends solely on the sales of donated items through their thrift stores. Through the work therapy program, the clients learn a trade such as re-upholstering furniture and repairing electrical equipment such as refrigerators, etc. The Christmas season is the busiest time of the year for the ARC which requires use of all their trucks.
