Once homeless in a vehicle, single mother finds housing through The Salvation Army

Jun 27, 2024

Homeless and living in their vehicle, Bea and her three children came to the food bank at The Salvation Army’s Family Resource Center for a couple of weeks to pick up grab-and-go lunch bags. They appreciated these simple meals and expressed their gratitude to the staff.

During a brief conversation with a staff member one day, Bea learned about The Salvation Army’s emergency shelter. Bea applied and was accepted. She and her family lived there briefly before finding their own house.

Sadly, an electrical issue caused a fire, and Bea’s family lost almost everything they had built up. However, during this process, Bea visited the food bank and worked with the Family Resource Center. Fortunately, with the skills that Bea and her children gained with The Salvation Army’s help, this family learned how to land back on their feet.

Bea and her children now have a new house and only come to the Family Resource Center to update the staff about their newfound security.
