The Salvation Army Thrift Store & Donation Center in Santee anchors the Cuyamaca Street corridor near the Buena Vista Avenue intersection, funding the San Diego Adult Rehabilitation Center through retail proceeds. Donated inventory cycles through clothing, housewares, furniture, and electronics departments, with the used-technology section complementing the computer repair and upgrade services at Laptops Plus on nearby Magnolia Avenue. All revenue from the Santee store funds the Salvation Army's residential addiction recovery programs operated on a charitable basis through the San Diego Adult Rehabilitation Center, requiring no insurance from participants. The furniture department accepts and resells donated sofas, tables, dressers, and recliners, many of which arrive in condition suited for the custom reupholstering work performed at Betty's Upholstery Furniture on Prospect Avenue. The Cuyamaca Street location operates both retail sales and a drive-up donation intake facility, processing soft goods, hard goods, furniture, and consumer electronics through a rear dock that feeds the San Diego ARC's regional distribution network.
