The Salvation Army San Francisco

We just celebrated three remarkable individuals—Richard (Dick) Clark, Rick Osgood, and Mary Theroux—who have received The Salvation Army’s Life Membership award for their unmatched service to San Francisco. This isn't an award for just anyone; it’s the highest recognition The Salvation Army bestows on its Advisory Board members, requiring at least 15 years of service and a demonstration of exceptional commitment. These honorees have gone above and beyond. Their dedication is not just about showing up—it's about transforming lives: ?? Dick Clark, with 41 years of service, has inspired generations of Advisory Board members, touched the lives of seniors with his music, and played a key role in The Way Out initiative, helping individuals find their footing in the workforce. ?? Rick Osgood helped reshape underserved areas of San Francisco through the acquisition of the Bayview Impact Center and the creation of the Culinary Training Academy, providing critical job training to those in need. His 21 years of vision and financial support are driving tangible change. ?? Mary Theroux’s leadership and institutional knowledge guided The Salvation Army through decades of transition. Her vision helped launch The Way Out initiative, a critical effort in addressing homelessness and creating new opportunities for San Francisco’s most vulnerable. These are not just volunteers—they are change makers whose work has a lasting impact on our city. We need more leaders like them to step forward and support this life-changing mission. #SalvationArmy #TheWayOut #SanFrancisco #CommunityLeaders #Leadership #Changemakers #AdvisoryBoard #Service

It’s International Youth Day! Today, we celebrate the incredible potential of young people everywhere. At The Salvation Army of San Francisco, we’re dedicated to nurturing that potential through programs that balance learning with fun. Our after school program is a place where students can continue to grow even after the school bell rings. With academic support and engaging activities, we’re creating an environment that enriches their minds while letting them unwind and enjoy themselves. And when summer rolls around, our summer camp ensures that the learning and adventure continue. These experiences keep young minds active, fresh, and full of curiosity, even when school is out. Let’s keep empowering our youth—because investing in them means investing in a brighter future for us all. ?? #InternationalYouthDay #TheSalvationArmy #YouthEmpowerment #CommunitySupport #SanFrancisco
