Meet Mistie, our compassionate Social Services Coordinator at The Salvation Army Santa Barbara Corps. She oversees our walk-through clothing closet, providing essential clothing items free of charge to community members. For many, these clothes are more than just everyday wear—they're crucial for interviews and important events. “It’s my favorite part of my job, knowing that we are able to make a difference by providing basic necessities such as clothing. Our clients are always grateful and often surprised to learn the items are free. Their faces light up when they find something they need, and many return the favor by donating clothing later. The clothing closet supports 75-100 people monthly. Thank you, Mistie, for your unwavering commitment to serving others every day! 👏 #SalvationArmy #Community #GivingBack #SantaBarbara #EmployeeSpotlight

About us
“Doing the Most Good.” In these four words, our mission – to feed, to clothe, to comfort, to care, to rebuild broken homes and broken lives. By walking with the addicted, we can lead them to recovery. By fighting hunger and poverty, we can feed and nurture the spirit. And, by living and sharing the Christian Gospel and meeting tangible needs, we give the world a lasting display of the love behind our beliefs. The Salvation Army operates more than 50 social service agencies strategically placed throughout Southern California. Material and spiritual support is our standard - social services delivered with compassion is our model - anyone in need is our prerequisite. Our work is funded through kettle donations, corporate contributions, and the sale of goods donated to Salvation Army Family Stores. Eighty-two cents of every dollar we raise supports our various programs across Southern California. We are a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, and contributions are deductible for Federal Income Tax Purposes to the extent permitted under Section 170(b)(2) for corporations. An international movement, The Salvation Army is an evangelical arm of the universal Christian Church. Our message is based on the Bible, and our ministry is motivated by the love of God. We preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and meet human needs in His name without discrimination.
