The Salvation Army Living and Care Center Haugesund has been part of the local community since 1888, offering services to people with substance abuse problems. The center focuses on providing support and assistance to people in vulnerable situations, and works actively with education and community involvement. Volunteering plays an important role in the operation, and there is an emphasis on creating belonging and community through various activities.
One of the unique services the center offers is street football, which promotes social cohesion among participants. In addition, they have a national telephone service that gives seniors the opportunity to have conversations with conversation partners. The center also houses a Fretex store, where visitors can find rare treasures and vintage clothing. Through its work, the Salvation Army contributes to aid and relief work, and has a long-term commitment to helping those who need it most.
