Meeting - August 25, 2022

Opioid overdose awareness day, National Recovery Month, and the history of The Salvation Army. Timothy Pemberton was an addict whose vices caused him to become involved in adverse situations. Twelve years ago, he decided to seek help from the Salvation Army. Now, he and his wife run the Salvation Army's Adult Rehabilitation Center in Santa Monica, a program, he said, that saved him. The Salvation Army's Adult Rehabilitation Center helps addicts become sober and turn their lives around. The program has a 34% graduation rate, nearly triple that of similar programs. Pemberton was a graduate before becoming a Salvation Army captain.
