The Salvation Army Monday dedicated its new campus in Wilmington.
The campus houses its Adult Rehabilitation Center, which has 68 beds for men and women in recovery from challenges with alcohol, drugs, homelessness and other issues. The rehab center offers a six-month program that includes counseling, job training, and spiritual development, a release stated.
Located on Walnut Street, a short drive from its former riverfront location on South Market Street, the campus is also home to a warehouse and thrift store, which, along with others in the area, are the sole source of funding for the rehabilitation program. The store was opened on Sept. 12th, ahead of the new campus.
“The Salvation Army is privileged to dedicate this new home for the Adult Rehabilitation Center, which serves so many in the Wilmington community and beyond,” said Commissioner William A. Bamford, territorial commander of The Salvation Army’s Eastern Territory. “We are grateful for the support of so many as we aim to serve families in need through our rehabilitation program and our thrift store here in this beautiful new location. May many lives be transformed through the services offered.”
The new Adult Rehabilitation Center building also contains a fitness center, a family visiting area, classrooms, a computer lab with WIFI throughout the campus, and additional space for the female residence area. The new store has more than 17,000 square feet of retail space. Donations are accepted Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m..
