Dear friends,
If I asked you to draw a picture
of what The Salvation Army
means to you, I would no doubt
see lots of Red Kettles, bells
and red shields. These are
all wonderful symbols of our
brand. And, if I asked you to
describe The Salvation Army in
a word or two, I am sure I would
hear the words “food” and
“shelter.”
While both food and shelter
are critical needs and provide
a foundation for our support,
The Salvation Army is much,
much more. And while our Red
Kettles are iconic symbols
at Christmas, we are just as
busy providing services year-
round. We are dedicated to our
community’s most vulnerable
citizens, providing a wide
range of initiatives and critical
social services. As you read
through this annual report, I
hope that you come away with
a deeper understanding and
appreciation for the ways we
provide hope and support to
those in need 365 days a year.
Our programs offer a path
to a better life and support
along that journey. You may

breadth of our programs that
extend far beyond food and
shelter. Our dedicated staff
and volunteers are providing
outdoor and educational
opportunities for at-risk youth,
who may not otherwise have
access to such programs. Our
social workers are helping
to empower individuals and
families to lift themselves up
toward self-sufficiency. And, we
are rescuing those who have
become trapped in a life of
human trade.
Some of the problems we see
every day can seem hopeless,
but that’s where we really shine.
We are reconnecting families
through the Harbor Light’s drug

The Salvation Army William

Journey from
Surrender to
Success
In many ways, it was a
typical business breakfast – white linen clad
tables, a speakers’ stage flanked by video
screens and the clamor of conversation against a
backdrop of clanging plates and glasses.
But when KEM, special guest and Grammy-
award nominated R & B artist took the stage, it
was obvious this event would be anything but
typical.
watching the lights in homes all around him where
families were enjoying each other’s warmth and
a hot meal together. It was at this moment that
in his words, he “surrendered.” He entered into
a Salvation Army shelter and substance abuse
program and committed to making it work. When
he put his faith in God’s hands, he saw his life
begin to change for the better. Overcoming his
demons, KEM showed himself and all those
around him that there is always hope.

The setting was The Salvation Army’s National
Advisory Board breakfast and the crowd of more
than 250 business leaders and donors were
about to be captivated by a tale of hardship-
turned-success-story.
A soft-spoken KEM began by thanking God for
the success of his musical career and then he
thanked The Salvation Army for its part in saving
him from a life of homelessness, alcohol and
drugs.
The breakfast guests rose to their feet as
KEM finished his story to thunderous
applause. To this day, KEM dedicates a
few minutes during each of his concerts
to give his testimony and reinforce
the message of his journey, giving
hope to all who listen.

Despite growing up in a two-parent family with

some means, he explained how he found
himself ill equipped to handle the challenges
of growing up. In his despair, he turned to
drugs and alcohol and left home.

KEM described his lowest point,

Kim Owens, better known by his stage
name KEM, is an internationally-renowned
R&B recording artist raised in Detroit. KEM’s
professional musical career began after sign-
ing a deal with Motown Records in Novem-
ber 2001. Through Motown, KEM was able
to re-release his first album, Kemistry, to the
tune of over 500,000 copies nationwide. Since
then, KEM has garnered three Grammy nom-
inations, one Platinum-selling album (KEM:
Album II), two Gold-selling albums (Kemistry
and Intimacy), five number one hit singles and
a collection of sold-out national and interna-
tional tours. His hit song, “I Can’t Stop Loving
You,” was recognized as Billboard’s Top Adult
R&B Single in 2005.
Despite many musical accolades, KEM’s
greatest accomplishments arise from his
charitable efforts – particularly his work with
The Salvation Army. In 2016, KEM helped
launch fundraising and water collection efforts
in the wake of the Flint Water Crisis. His back-
to-back benefit concerts in Detroit’s Chene
Park generated over $40,000 and thousands
of bottles of water for Flint residents.
KEM also visited Flint himself, stopping at
The Salvation Army Flint Beecher Corps
Community Center to present a $10,000
check and hear the stories of local residents.
Last Red Kettle season, KEM lent his talents
to two donation appeal spots that appeared
online and on local Detroit television stations
for the length of the holiday season. The spots
played a tremendous part in The Salvation
Army’s goal of providing more than just meals
and shelter for citizens across the metro area.

Captains Kelsie & Javier Moreno found a
mysterious gift in a Red Kettle at the Kroger in Grosse
Pointe Woods: a South African Gold Krugerrand with
a value estimated at over $1,400. One of three high-
value coins dropped in metro Detroit Red Kettles
during the 2017 giving season, the donation provided
a welcome boost to the campaign’s fundraising
total. Similar Kruggerands have been found in the
same Grosse Pointe Woods kettle for multiple years,
continuing an intriguing trend of secret coin
donations across metro

ANNUAL BED & BREAD CLUB RADIOTHO
Nikki came to the shelter with more than most.
She had a full-time job and a car. Staff helped her
with a safe environment and encouragement for
the future. They provided her with the basics and
more, including a pair of boots donated by Toyota
through the automaker’s annual “Walk in My
Boots” program. But they are far from a fashion
accessory. Nikki has an outdoor job and they
allow her to continue her employment.
Without a network of friends and family
to help her, The Salvation Army shelter
provided Nikki with the encouragement she
lacked. “I’ve met some amazing people
here,” she says, crediting her surroundings
that allowed her to regain her energy,
minimize her stress and “focus on what
I needed to focus on. Going to work and
coming back.”

Q&A with WJR’s Ken Rogulski and Joseph
WJR's Ken Rogulski met up with Joseph, a driver for The Salvation Army's Bed and Bread program
to discuss his daily experience on the truck.
Ken: So how many are regulars
[customers]?
Joseph: Maybe 75%.
Ken: You see them every day
or are they sporadic based on
the time of the month?
Joseph: Every day. I know
some of their names and most
of them know my name. It’s
a relationship. I know what to
expect from them and they
know what to expect from me.
Ken: Do you find that some
folks bootstrap themselves and
get off line or these folks are
here because they can’t seem
to move ahead?
Joseph: I think that some of
them have been doing this for a
while and this is the way of life
for them. They come and get
their kids and say ‘ok, it’s time
to go to the truck.’ I don’t know
what kind of struggles they go
through, but whatever reason
they’re here…
Ken: Do you know any stories
of the people you are with? Do
you see some of the kids; do
you know how they got here?
Joseph: Yeah, I know some of
their stories. I know some of the
people. I’ve been on both sides
of the window. I try to be an
example for them so that they

Corporate Generosity Supports More Than Programming
Since 2011, Quicken Loans and
its family of companies have
supported The Salvation Army’s
Red Kettle campaign and Bed
& Bread program in a variety
of ways. Every week, Quicken
Loans team members donate
their time and talent in The
Salvation Army Harbor Light
kitchen making sandwiches for
the Bed & Bread program. The
annual company-sponsored bell
ringing competition, Metal in
the Kettle, in Detroit’s Campus
Martius Park has raised much
needed funding. The Salvation
Army has also enjoyed the
support of Bill Emerson, vice
chairman of Rock Holdings,
Inc., as honorary co-chairman
of the Red Kettle campaign. For
the past seven years, using his
influence he has encouraged
his team members and the
community at large to support
The Salvation Army.
FAMILY DONOR
Every year, The Salvation Army
is blessed to work with amazing
families and individuals who
donate not only their time
but also their hard-earned
money to help others who
are less fortunate. The Bed
& Bread program received
an anonymous donation of
nearly $55,000 this past year
to purchase the bread needed
to make sandwiches served
on our Bed & Bread trucks
throughout the upcoming year.
As a global company, Lear
Corporation gives back in each
of its communities around the
world; however, the organization
is especially generous to its
hometown of Detroit. In 2017,
Lear joined The Salvation Army
as a new Bed & Bread Club

our fundraising efforts. To raise
additional awareness around
the importance of the Red Kettle
Campaign, we have hosted our
own “Metal in the Kettle” event,
with company leaders ringing the
bells and encouraging a friendly
fundraising competition among
team members from all areas of
the Rock Family of Companies.
In the 2017 holiday season alone,
our team members raised nearly
$100,000 for The Salvation Army
during this 60-minute donation
dash in Detroit’s Campus Martius
Park.
The camaraderie, energy and
excitement this event brought to
our team members – despite the
frigid, arctic-level temperatures
that seem to always come with
it – comprise some of my favorite
memories with The Salvation Army.
The fact that your organization
has been doing great things like
this since 1865 is nothing short of
monumental, and I commend The
Salvation Army on its relentless
pursuit of providing help to those
who need it most.
Beyond the Red Kettle Campaign,
our team members have spent
nearly 5,000 hours of their time
assisting the important mission
of the Bed & Bread program,
and collected more than 1,300
toys and bikes during our
donation drives. The Salvation
Army will be represented in our
annual Community Challenge
crowdfunding campaign in 2018,
which gives team members an
opportunity to give back to the
organizations they are particularly
passionate about. We understand
the great value that The Salvation
Army brings to Detroit and other
local communities, so dedicating
our time, people and resources
to your organization’s efforts is
an honor and privilege for our
company.
On a personal note,
having served as
Chair of the Red Kettle
Campaign, I witnessed
firsthand the value in helping
those who help others. One of
Quicken Loans’ core beliefs – or
“ISMs,” as we call them – is “do
the right thing.” Rarely have I seen
an organization commit itself so
fiercely to doing the right thing like
The Salvation Army does every
single day. I am proud to support
your cause, and I look forward to
watching The Salvation Army’s
good work unfold for years and
years to come.
Strength and honor,
Bill Emerson

church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is
