The Salvation Army Bakkegaten Bo og Omsorgssenter has been a part of Bergen since 1888 and offers a range of services with a focus on people in vulnerable situations. The organization works with children and young people, the elderly, and people with substance abuse problems. One of the specific services is CAMEO, an activity center for elderly inmates, which provides opportunities for social interaction and activities.
In addition to care services, the Salvation Army runs a street hospital that provides vital help to people living on the streets. Fretex, part of the organization, offers environmentally friendly solutions and job opportunities, while also contributing to sustainability. The organization also functions as a church and community center, where prayer and conversation are central. For the unemployed, a job search workshop is offered, and there are art projects that aim to transform tagging into positive expressions. Volunteers have the opportunity to contribute to community good through various activities and projects.
