Located on Puyallup's South Hill, the three-story Salvation Army Silvercrest Residence provides 45 units of one-bedroom apartments for independent senior citizens.

Meeting rooms, a lounge, a community kitchen and office spaces occupy the first floor, and an outside garden area offers further space for tenants.

Grant-supported public art works decorate the building's exterior. Silvercrest is fully accessible to disabled persons, and is situated on a two-acre parcel adjacent to an existing Army Corps building that provides social services to the community, and support to the residents of Silvercrest.

The mission of the Salvation Army Senior Activity Center is to serve as a point to deliver a broad spectrum of services and activities to older adults throughout Puyallup Communities. We strive to help seniors with their health and wellness, decrease their loneliness and isolation, and provide assistance with social, economic, and educational opportunities to enhance the quality of their lives.

While every disaster is unique and creates its own special needs, the core of The Salvation Army's disaster program consists of several basic services. And while these services address many of the typical needs of a disaster survivor, Salvation Army disaster relief is also flexible. Our services are adapted to the specific needs of individuals and communities and scalable according to the magnitude of the disaster.
