Richland Social Services

The Salvation Army’s social service ministry seeks to meet human need in Christ’s name; to alleviate human suffering, and to promote wholeness by addressing the spiritual, social, emotional, psychological and physical well-being of those served. Believing that caring is an expression of Christian love, it strives to empower people by helping those served assemble and discover choices. It bases its services on community needs, and works collaboratively with others in addressing those needs.

Principles of Service

Each of our social service programs serving seniors, youth, families, men and women adheres to the following Principles of Service:

  • Treatment of all people as God's children;

  • Demonstration of warmth and personal interest in each person;

  • Listening without being judgmental or condemning;

  • Regarding all information as confidential;

  • Recognition of its own limitations to assist, and seeking needed help from others;

  • Establishing a meaningful relationship with the applicant (whether brief or lengthy) through a caring interest in him or her as a person;

  • Recognition of the worth and dignity of each individual and affirmation of the right of each one to make his or her own decisions.
