This time, he was ready to turn his life around. With the help of The Salvation Army Harbor House, he was able to do just that. Through regular case work, Lee was able to finally take control of his life and his health. Lee lived in the Harbor House for eight months and in that short time he was able to secure his own apartment, start receiving eligible benefits, and began attending church every Sunday. He now volunteers and encourages other homeless individuals to take control of their lives and seek the help they need.” ADDRESS: 1707 West Chestnut Expressway Springfield, MO 65802 PHONE: 417-862-5509 WEBSITE: salvationarmyspringfield.org /SalvationArmyOzarkArea @sgfsalvation TOTAL NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES (FTE): 51 ANNUAL REVENUES (MOST RECENT FISCAL YEAR): $3,489,494 TOP EXECUTIVE: Butch Frost, Major BOARD PRESIDENT: Jan Millington, Assistant City Attorney with City of Springfield BOARD OF DIRECTORS: Jan Millington, Chairman, Assistant City Attorney, City of Springfield Steve Fox, Vice-Chairman, Regional President, US Bank Greg Ramsey, Treasurer, Certified Public Accountant, KPM CPA’s & Advisors Eric McClure, Secretary, President/CEO, Mid-Missouri Bank Paul Adler, Immediate Past Chairman, KY3 News Anchor, KY3, Inc.
