I graduated from the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation program in Omaha, Nebraska. The cost was nothing except working for them to help cover the cost of the treatment. Upon graduation they hired me at a decent wage to work for them. The people here are great and it is a good feeling to work for a place that helps people on a daily basis. What we do here matters and makes a positive difference in the lives of people in the Omaha/Lincoln area.
As a responder with Team Rubicon USA in Wayne NE, we asked the Salvation Army representative to aid in our coordination of volunteer efforts beyond the normal scope of his duties with the Salvation Army. The fellow accepted the additional duties and excelled in his coordination of not only his normal duties, but also the additional responsibility that we asked him to undertake. The Salvation Army provided meals to families, volunteers, and response personnel in the tornado path, as well as the Volunteer Incident Command Post (VICP), Staging Area, and Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Well over a thousand volunteers were provided for. Excellent work by the Salvation Army.
