2012 metropolitan Detroit Annual report

32012 Metropolitan Detroit Annual Report

This year truly has been a year of Doing the Most Good in Metro Detroit.

My appreciation goes out to our wonderful donors and volunteers for putting The Salvation Army on solid ground through their continuous philanthropic efforts. It’s those efforts that assist us in providing the full continuum of care that is so desperately needed in Metro Detroit.

We’ve taken innovative approaches to serving others in our community, utilizing social media campaigns and traditional fundraising efforts to both spread awareness and raise funds. Something as simple as a hashtag on Twitter not only helped broaden the audience for our 25th annual Bed & Bread Club Radiothon, it also extended the resources of our Bed & Bread Club program by $25,000 thanks to a matching grant from the Ford Motor Company Fund.

By collaborating with Christ Church Detroit, our new Homeless Drop-in Center which opened in May, is open on weekdays when traditional shelters are closed. It is designed not only to provide a place of warmth/cooling and nutritious food, but also gives those in need access to The Salvation Army’s broad range of critical social services.

Our ongoing partnerships with Quicken Loans, the Detroit Red Wings and Huntington Bank, to name just a few, have also been

instrumental in helping us Do the Most Good in Metro Detroit this year. We really could not do everything we do without their strong, ongoing support!

This annual report reflects the most recent financial statements concerning The Salvation Army’s work in Metro Detroit. The dollars and numbers represent individuals who have received a nutritious meal, a warm night of shelter, or other assistance in their time of need.

The Salvation Army is celebrating 125 years of service to Metro Detroit and will continue battling poverty and hunger on the frontlines as strongly as we ever have.

It’s because of the continued generosity of our community that we are able to Do the Most Good by fulfilling our mission of providing hope and help to the less fortunate. Thanks to your kindness, The Salvation Army will carry on making an impact in those lives that need it the most. Here’s to the next 125 years!

God Bless,

season were the Detroit Red Wings and Quicken Loans. Detroit Red Wings Executive Vice President and General Manager Ken Holland once again served as honorary chair of the campaign and Quicken Loans CEO Bill Emerson took on the role of honorary corporate chair. Both men – and their organizations – were hands-on throughout the campaign, including taking part in the official first bell ring of the season at the Quicken Loans-sponsored Giant Red Kettle in Campus Martius Park, as well as at the announcement of the final campaign total of $8.2 million – and everywhere in between!

“The players and staff of the Detroit Red Wings have embraced The Salvation Army and are committed to helping people in need in our community,” said Holland. “We were proud to support this great organization though our partnership for the sixth consecutive year.”The Salvation Army is proud to have the support of the Detroit Red Wings, Quicken Loans and all of the Metro Detroit businesses whose storefronts hosted Red Kettles. We are also blessed to have the support of so many giving individuals who gave from their hearts this holiday season.

With poverty rates reaching their highest levels in 40 years, the need in our community is greater than ever. However, The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle bells will continue to ring and support will continue to be provided to those who need it most.

Red-hot support makes for a successful campaign.As the old song goes, “Bells will be ringing.” And ring, they did…all throughout Metro Detroit during the 82 days of The Salvation Army’s 2011 Red Kettle Campaign. Detroit Red Wings, Detroit Tigers and other local celebrities donated their time and energy to ring bells, and countless Metro Detroiters reacted with generosity and kindness, raising more than $8.2 million to provide critical services to those in need in our community. The Salvation Army also received nearly $1 million of gifts in-kind, including winter coats, hats and mittens, Christmas toys and canned goods.“We are beyond grateful to the people of Metro Detroit for helping us meet our Red Kettle Campaign goal,” said Major Mark Anderson,

general secretary and Metro Detroit area commander of The Salvation Army Eastern Michigan Division. “Raising more than $8.2 million was a true blessing from God and will enable us to continue providing comprehensive social services to those who so desperately need them.”Although the City of Detroit didn’t have a white Christmas, The Salvation Army helped to ensure that it had a red Christmas during its inaugural “Paint the City Red” celebration on December 22 when General Motors’ Renaissance Center beamed The Salvation Army’s iconic red shield from its main electronic sign. In addition, the bands around

the top of each of its four towers glowed red and Motor City Casino Hotel turned its exterior lighting to all red from sun-up to sun-down. The Compuware Building’s soaring atrium also turned red in support of the Red Kettle Campaign.“To see individuals wear red

and businesses glow crimson in celebration of Paint the City Red Day was an amazing site to see,” said Major Anderson. “The day served as a rallying cry to our supporters to help

us meet our Red Kettle goal, and served as a reminder that there are many in need in our community.”Two of The Salvation Army’s biggest supporters this Red Kettle

Good people don’t plan for bad things to happen.Jessica Dwyer never planned for a debilitating disease. She never planned for a flooded basement that resulted in the loss of her family’s belongings. She never planned to lose her job. She most certainly didn’t plan on Santa skipping her house last Christmas.In August 2011, Jessica was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (IC), a severe bladder disease which limited her work. The disease went undiagnosed for years until she couldn’t take the pain anymore. Ongoing doctor’s office visits and surgeries made it difficult for her to work. Two months after the diagnosis, her basement flooded and the majority of her family’s clothes were lost. Jessica felt like she couldn’t catch a break. And, just when she thought things couldn’t get worse, her disease forced her to lose her job. Michael, her husband of 18 years, then became the sole provider for their family making it difficult to provide

for their two children, Austyn, 14, and Harmony, 9. With Christmas just around the corner, Jessica wanted to make sure that both of her children had something underneath the tree. So, she researched where she might be able to get Christmas assistance. In early December, she reached out to several organizations, but they all turned her down, citing either cutoff dates or children’s age limits. “I understood they had cutoff dates, but was shocked when organizations wouldn’t provide gifts for children over the age of 12,” she said. “Just because you have a teenager, it doesn’t mean they don’t deserve a Christmas, too.”Jessica kept faith in God and found The Salvation Army. Two weeks before Christmas, The Salvation Army Dearborn Heights Corps Community Center provided toys, clothing and financial assistance…with no cutoff dates or age limits.“No mother wants to think about

not being able to give her children a Christmas,” said Jessica. “It broke my heart thinking what a sad morning it would have been, but the support I received was amazing. The Salvation Army unconditionally welcomed me and made me feel loved.”The Salvation Army has inspired Jessica to do the most good for her community. Her goal is to get

healthy and have her family participate as bell ringers during the next Red Kettle campaign. She is also

developing a community donation drive with her church to help older teens so they won’t go without at Christmas.The Salvation Army has lifted Jessica and her family’s spirit. Jessica didn’t choose to lose her job. She didn’t choose to be diagnosed with a painful disease. But, Jessica did choose to make sure her kids had a wonderful Christmas and The Salvation Army of Metro Detroit chose to help them.

1312 2012 Metropolitan Detroit Annual Report

This year marks the 125th anniversary of The Salvation Army’s service to the people of Detroit. The year-long celebration of this milestone launched last fall with the annual Red Kettle campaign kick-off in downtown Detroit. The “World’s Tallest Red Kettle” was lit with much fanfare prior to the lighting of the City of Detroit’s holiday tree. The celebration continued with the 25th annual Bed & Bread Club

Radiothon in February and the 7th annual Doing the Most Good Week in May.Looking back, The Salvation Army

has served as a beacon of hope for Detroit since October of 1887 when Salvationists worked in a rented space above a fish market in downtown’s Cadillac Square. The city’s population at the

time was 133,000. In 1901, The Salvation Army and its members began facing resistance

from the local city government because some viewed their church meetings as a public disturbance. These meetings featured attention-getting brass and drum bands and were held in the streets in an effort to bring joy and the word of God to the destitute.When the area’s Provincial Leader, Colonel Blanche Cox, got wind of this resistance, she traveled to Detroit to fight for The Salvation Army’s rights. She led the charge in allowing these open air meetings by standing up to authorities. An account of the time by a Salvationist indicates that “…some people professed to see a menacing, overcrowded condition, and caused an ordinance to be passed by the City Council to stop all street meetings and to have it include The Salvation Army. It was made to read, ‘No one may make a speech or blow a horn or beat a drum within a

half mile of the City Hall.’”Through Col. Cox’s persistence – and the help and financial support of James Scripps, owner of The Detroit News, which published a front page article supporting Cox and The Salvation Army – justice and free speech eventually won out. The Salvation Army obtained permission to hold meetings near City Hall before year’s end. Further, Col. Cox’s work strengthened the relationship between The Salvation Army and the City of Detroit.Although The Salvation Army worked to help the poor and destitute all year long, Christmas assistance, in particular, soon became a major focus of its work in Detroit. One founding Army follower, Blanche Heazlitt, even received permission from J.L. Hudson himself to place Christmas collection boxes at the retail store’s main doors -- years before the famous Red Kettle bell ringers became a Christmas staple. This was the birth of the annual Red

Kettle campaign in Detroit, which is The Salvation Army’s biggest and most important fundraiser of the year.A Michigan historical marker located on Randolph Street between Jefferson and Cadillac Square was dedicated in 1987 commemorating the beginning of the nonprofit’s service to the city. Fast forward 125 years and the City of Detroit now serves as home to three traditional corps community centers (Temple, Grandale and Harding), the Acres of Hope/Harbor Light and the Denby Center. There are also 40 service centers in metropolitan Detroit,

which serve a population of nearly four million people in Detroit and its surrounding communities. In fact, Governor Rick Snyder has stated that The Salvation Army is the largest private provider of social services in the State of Michigan.Throughout its 125-year span, The Salvation Army has impacted countless lives in Detroit by providing a continuum of care that includes not only spiritual guidance, but also food, shelter, afterschool programs, rent assistance, drug and alcohol rehabilitation and many other critical services.We look forward to our continued service to the community!

impossible, problem to fix. The generosity of Metro Detroiters who have donated to the Bed & Bread Radiothon have truly become heroes in the fight against poverty,” said Major Mark Anderson, general secretary and Metro Detroit area commander for The Salvation Army Eastern Michigan Division. “We are overwhelmed with the kindness and support that has been expressed and we can’t begin to describe how grateful we are to our donors and WJR for the good they have done.”New to the Radiothon this year was a Tweetathon, which brought the event into the proverbial 21st century. During the week of the Radiothon, Ford Motor Company donated $3 per tweet that used the hashtag #BedandBread. More than 16,400 tweets were made from around the world raising $25,000.

Other highlights of the event included a guest list that read like a who’s who of Michigan celebrities. Tim Allen, Kid Rock,

Ken Holland, Gov. Rick Synder, Mayor Dave Bing, Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel, Dave Brandon and Florine

Mark were just a few featured callers who phoned in to talk about the important role the Bed & Bread program plays in our community.And then, there was the matter of Purtan’s iconic mustache. WJR’s Frank Beckmann suggested theDetroit radio legend shave off his signature mustache, which he had since 1970, if listeners pulled through and raised $100,000 during one hour of the Radiothon. Purtan willingly accepted the challenge, the money was raised and the mustache is officially a part of Radiothon history!

One week after the Radiothon, Purtan made good on his promise, shaving his iconic mustache to aid in the fight against hunger and homelessness in Metro Detroit.That’s how you celebrate a 25th anniversary!

The Salvation Army of Metro Detroit welcomed Dick Purtan back to the airwaves to help celebrate the 25th annual Salvation Army Bed & Bread Club Radiothon. Purtan, the “father” of the Radiothon, came out of retirement to co-host the Radiothon he helped create 25 years ago. Purtan joined with News/Talk 760 WJR personalities Paul W. Smith, Frank Beckmann and Mitch Albom, as well as other WJR folks to mark

this important milestone. The Radiothon also marked the second year of the partnership between The Salvation Army of Metro Detroit and News/Talk 760 WJR. “WJR is proud to play host to the Bed & Bread Club Radiothon and assist The Salvation Army in providing its continuum of care to so many in our hometown,” said News/Talk 760 WJR General Manager Tom O’Brien. “We are pleased to help in providing the hungry and

homeless in our community with basic necessities and connect them to critical social services that can assist them in getting back on their feet.”The Salvation Army, Purtan and the WJR team celebrated the 25th anniversary the only way they knew how—by raising $1,733,997 during the 16-hour event that aired live from Oakland Mall in Troy. “Hunger and homelessness in our community is a huge, but not

Leadership Team

Since it began its service to Detroit in 1887, The Salvation Army has impacted millions of lives in countless ways, and mine is definitely one of them. I am proud to be affiliated with an organization that is doing so much good in our community.

As the chair of the Metropolitan Detroit Advisory Board, it is my honor to be part of a highly energized group of civic, philanthropic and business leaders who assist the organization in matters ranging from strategic planning to public outreach. Please take a moment to peruse the list of my colleagues on the page to your right. They are the

“Army behind the Army.”

Charlotte Jones-Anderson, National Advisory Board Chair, defined the essential purpose of advisory boards as creating awareness through gifts of time, talent, money and knowledge to represent the community to The Salvation Army and The Salvation Army to the community.

We have a board of action. In fact, the idea for our new Homeless Drop-In Center at Christ Church in downtown Detroit came from a board member who also serves on the Church’s Leadership Council. There are also countless other examples of board engagement, including 100 percent financial support this past year. It’s a pretty amazing group of volunteers determined to give hope to those who need it most, and I’m humbled to serve with them.

Also amazing are the countless partners we work with throughout the year. Organizations like

Quicken Loans, Garden Fresh Gourmet, The Community Foundation of Southeast Michigan, the Detroit Red Wings, the Detroit Tigers, Gleaners Community Food Bank, Bank of America, Forgotten Harvest, the Matilda Wilson Fund, the Wayne & Joan Webber Fund, Ford Motor Company Fund and Denali Moose Tracks, to name just a few. These partnerships allow us to help so many more people than we could without their support.

Southeast Michigan’s divisional leaders, Colonels Dennis and Sharon Strissel and Majors Mark and Susan Anderson, arrived only a year ago, but have embraced the Detroit community wholeheartedly. They also have a clear vision for how this venerable agency can fulfill its mission of helping people without discrimination. They are making it happen every day and for that we truly appreciate them.

Please join me in celebrating our accomplishments over the past year and read our story from cover to cover. I also invite you to join with our Board as we work alongside The Salvation Army to help provide critical social services during these challenging times to those who are rehabilitating their lives, as well as those who might otherwise not receive the assistance they so desperately need.

Gratefully,

The Salvation Army Southeast Michigan Adult Rehabilitation Centers (ARC) are an integral part of TSA’s mission. The facilities offer substance-abusing men and women the opportunity to rebuild their lives through a voluntary, short-term residential self-help program designed to establish a sense of dignity, self-esteem and personal strength that allows

them to resist the desire to abuse a substance and regain their rightful place as contributing members of society. The ARC has two facilities in Southeast Michigan, including the Men’s Rehabilitation Center in Detroit and the Women’s Rehabilitation Center in Romulus, which opened in August 2011. Completely self-funded, the ARC draws its entire

operating budget from the revenue of the 33 Salvation Army Thrift Stores located in Southeast Michigan.
