SUPPORT SUMMER DAY CAMP:
For the neediest children in Palm Beach County, the simple joys of a childhood summer may seem unattainable. These at-risk kids will spend their summer wandering the streets or hanging out with other idle kids -- many of them bad influences… a recipe for trouble. But The Salvation Army can help struggling local families avoid such an outcome for their children.
Through donations, local underprivileged kids get to attend camp where they play sports, swim, explore the outdoors and make crafts. And beyond the recreation, they learn how to deal with the troubling issues and concerns that challenge them in their daily lives.
If you are interested in supporting Summer Camp programs or one of our other various programs please contact us at 561-686-3530.
Northwest Community Center Purpose Statement:
To serve the residents of West Palm Beach by offering recreational, educational, social and community development activities for the uplifting and improvement of the overall quality of life.

Each year The Salvation Army is able to supply Christmas toys and clothing to more than 5,000 needy children and provide assistance to their family. We are also able to supply holiday gifts to Senior Angels and tray gifts to persons in Nursing & Detention homes.
With the help of a generous public we are able to provide toys to families in need. Families must complete an application and registration to receive assistance through The Salvation Army's Angel Tree Program.
The Angel Tree program also relies on our local area businesses, churches, organizations, and individuals.
Registration: Starts In September

Where can I adopt an Angel: Local Malls and Local Salvation Army Offices.

Volunteer Commitment: Any time you can give from 10:00am until 6:00pm on any day.
Group or Workplace Ideas
1) Corporate or group Angel Tree: Put up an Angel Tree in your place of business or where your group meets. We will supply the names of as many Angels as you need. Your employees or members will then select the child they wish to shop for, purchase new toys and/or clothing (whatever amount they feel they can spend is appreciated). And return the gifts to the Angel Tree. We can pick up the gifts whenever they are ready. Dates needed: November -December
2) New Toy Drive: Make it fun. Challenge your co-workers to fill the bosses office with new toys. Having a truck or even a dump truck at your place of business and challenging your co-workers, customers, and even your competitors to “Fill it up” with new toys. This one is really fun and VERY helpful!!!
3) The Empty Stocking Project: Fill a red net stocking (provided by The Salvation Army) with small items for the Angel Tree Children. This is a wonderful project for younger children or older adults.
4) Angel Parties: Host a holiday party and ask your guests to bring new toys for children ages 0-12.
COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
How does The Salvation Army find the children whose names are on the Angel Tree?
The families of these children have applied for Christmas assistance from The Salvation Army. Some are referred by other agencies. All children are ages 12 and under.
Are all the children from Palm Beach County?
Yes. This year we will provide assistance for more than 5,000 children and their families in Palm Beach County.
How does The Salvation Army determine if the families are truly needy?
Each family is screened as carefully as possible by our staff caseworkers without regard to race or religious preference. The federal guidelines for poverty are a tool used in this process. Referrals are taken from religious organizations, civic associations, H.R.S., schools and similar organizations. We cross check with other helping agencies for duplications.
How much should I spend?
We suggest that you spend between $25.00 and $50.00 per child. We encourage each donor to purchase at least two gifts: a toy and at least one clothing item.
What guarantee do I have that the gifts bought for an Angel get to the intended child?
Each child has a specific code number which is labeled on the gifts as they are returned. This code number correlates with a family’s file at the office. When a family comes to shop to pick up gifts, the family’s code number is matched with it’s specific gifts purchased for that child.
What happens to the Angels not selected from the tree?
All children who do not receive their gifts through an ANGEL TREE will receive new toys from our Christmas Toy Shop from monies donated or collected through our KETTLE effort.
Why must the gifts be unwrapped?
To ensure that each child receives appropriate and safe NEW gifts. Also, when the mother/father comes to pick up the gifts they will more than likely open them to assure that it is appropriate for her/his child. You may include boxes and wrapping paper so that the parent may wrap the gifts if desired.
Red Kettles
Salvation Army Kettles, Christmas Kettle, Red Kettle, Bell Ringer, Kettle Volunteer are a few of the names that bring to mind childhood memories of dropping coins into a red pot during the holidays. The tinkling of the bells being rung confirms the start of the Christmas Season.
The Christmas Kettle (also referred to as the Red Kettle due to its color) is The Salvation Army's most famous street campaign. It is most recognized during the Christmas season through its volunteers who stand outside of businesses and play or sing Christmas carols, or ring bells to inspire passersby to place donations of cash and checks inside the trademark red kettles.
We are so thankful for the many local stores that allow The Salvation Army to collect donations in front of their store fronts which allows us to collect funds that sustains our work throughout the coming year.
Kettle season starts in November and ends December 24th

History of the Red Kettle:
- The Red Kettle's career as a fundraiser began in 1891 when a Salvation Army officer, Captain Joseph McFee, resolved to provide a free Christmas dinner to the poor of San Francisco. From his days as a sailor in Liverpool, England, the captain remembered a large pot displayed on the Stage Landing, called "Simpson's Pot." Passersby tossed charitable donations into the pot.
- Captain McFee received permission from city authorities to place a crab pot and tripod at the Oakland ferry landing at the foot of San Francisco's Market Place. The kettle - and McFee's request to "Keep the Pot Boiling!" - drew a lot of attention from ferry passengers. So began a tradition that spread throughout the United States, then the world.
- Kettles are now used around the world, including Japan, Chile and Europe. Public contributions to the kettles enable The Salvation Army to bring the spirit of Christmas to the aged and lonely, ill, poor and disadvantaged, inmates of jail and other institutions -- people otherwise often forgotten.
Red Kettle Facts:
- 85% - 90% of kettle workers are paid employees who earn minimum wage, and only 10% - 15% are volunteers. Although it is ideal to staff kettles with as many volunteers as possible to keep expenses at a minimum, the paid kettle worker position provides an opportunity for those who might not be employed elsewhere. In other words, the paid position is actually another service that The Salvation Army provides to allow individuals to provide Christmas cheer for their families.
- The Red Kettle Campaign starts just prior to Thanksgiving and runs through Christmas Eve.
- A "typical" kettle can generate as much as $450.00 on a given day. However, depending on location some kettles can raise much more.
- Most donations consist of cash and coins, but occasionally we receive personal checks, and foreign currency, (not to mention the buttons, paper clips, vitamins, and pocket lint that also make their way into the Red Kettles).
- All donations received in Palm Beach County stays in Palm Beach County supporting local programs offered throughout the year.
- 82-cents of every dollar received goes directly to programming.
- Many Bell-Ringers, who have enjoyed their experience manning a kettle, are repeat workers and/or Volunteers.
- Some Service groups turn bell-ringing into a fun competition; seeing who can raise the most money in a given day.

SOCIAL SERVICES IN PALM BEACH COUNTY
The Salvation Army Social Service office provides social service and support to people in crisis and need; by means of residential and non-residential services and programs. As a distinctly Christian social service, it offers care to the total person, spirit, mind and body.
All components require an intake needs assessment interview to be completed during the initial visit. Case management during subsequent social service visits ensure forward progress in achieving and maintaining goals that lead to a family's state of self-sufficiency.

YOU CAN HELP THOSE IN NEED!
The Salvation Army shield is a universal symbol of help and hope. For people in serious need, The Salvation Army is a buffer between their lives, and desperation. It's the difference between feeling that you've run out of options and getting a second chance.
In Palm Beach County, many families are suffering economic jeopardy.

DONATE YOUR UNWANTED BUT USABLE ITEMS AND SHOP OUR FAMILY STORES
The Salvation Army has operated a "curbside" recycling program for more than 100 years. It began in the slums of 19th Century London, and continues to this day in all corners of the globe.
The Salvation Army is supported by the collection and sale of society's surplus but usable household goods. In the early days, men with push carts were sent out to collect paper and other salvage. Horses and wagons eventually supplanted the push carts, and in turn were supplanted by the familiar Salvation Army trucks.
Today, pick up service and drop off locations collect the donations of a generous public, which fund local programs and services offered to thousands of men, women and children in your local community.
