Brotherhood and mentorship, because of you.

“It’s been a blessing.” – Greg

Greg was born into a difficult life with parents who sold drugs. Without guidance and care, he fell into substance dependence at an early age. But thanks to The Salvation Army, he found a program to help him overcome addiction and find mentorship. He remembers how he felt after hearing the story of one of his mentors and says, “I ended up crying because I never knew that somebody going through substance dependence could change their life from not knowing God to getting close to God, helping others, and inspiring people.”

Today, thanks to hard work and friendships he’s made, Greg’s life is happy and sober. He says, “I’m a soldier here at the Center City Corps, and I love doing work for the Lord. I love talking to people. I’m also employed by The Salvation Army. I work for the College Thrift Store.” He also shares his gratitude and says, “It’s been a blessing. I’m just glad that God could shape a smoker like me and just transform me into a message. A beacon of light for somebody who really needs it in the darkness.”
