The Salvation Army Centre City Corps - San Diego, California

I’m between work and food stamps right now , so I went for the food donations on Monday- although I appreciate that they are here to help the homeless and needy, I noticed that much of the food given was well already past expiration date , not fresh and rather questionable to eat- it was more than a little disappointing

Wow. Was this donation easy. You pull right up to the back of the building. The bins are there and clearly labeled and open for your donations. There are people there to help you unload and sort. They can give you a physical receipt or there is a QR code to scan and fill out, then they send you an electronic receipt to your email. Seriously the fastest and easiest donation site ever! And the people who help are super helpful and very sweet!!

I attend the weekly AA meeting. It's easy for me to get to. It's spacious. I don't like to feel cramped in. The bathrooms are ok not the best I've seen. Clean however rearly have anything to dry your ✋.

This is a great opportunity to do community service and give back this organization also helps a lot of people and homeless people that has been displaced. You can also too if you're in need of food get it 7 days a week and they give food boxes once a month, free bus passes, and if your ID has been lost or stolen, they give ID vouchers for your California identification at no charge. So I really like this organization.

The Salvation Army STEPS program literally saved my life 14 years ago. I came to San Diego for the very first time on Tuesday, 03 FEB 04. I got off the bus sometime in proximity to 04:00AM. What struck me the most was the warmth of the air, and sea salt. I was mesmerized by the awareness of all five of my senses simultaneously. It was the first and only time in my life that I had experienced any phenomenon even remotely close to this. By the grace of God, I had secured placement with STEPS, however, that was not the greatest gift at that time, but the next day at STEPS, I had the privilege of meeting the one and only mentor that I have ever had, in 58 years. GOD BLESS YOU EDWARD RIVERS (STEPS Program Director in 2004), for teaching me so many things that run through the River of Life.

IN HIS LOVE

I’ve came here on several occasions to volunteer! There are weekly volunteer opportunities. What makes this place incredibly amazing is what they do for the homeless community in downtown San Diego. Keep up the great work Salvation Army. Parking is horrible. If you plan to volunteer save an extra 15-20 minutes to look for parking. You also have the option to pay $15 for parking in a nearby lot.
