About The Foundation

Mission Statement

“To develop partnerships with local individuals and businesses, to engage in financial support and commitment that will sustain long term fundraising to help raise awareness with the homeless and people in need in our Community through the conduit of The Salvation Army – Monterey Peninsula Corp.”

The Salvation Army worldwide authorized the recognition of Mr. Shake's great contributions with a special honor in 2016.  The Monterey Peninsula's only homeless day care center now bears the name: "Sabu Shake Sr. Good Samaritan Center."

Majors David & Gaylene Yardley presented the prestigious "Others" Award to Sabu J.R. Shake & Chris Shake on October 3, 2013. The "Others" Award is the highest award The Salvation Army can bestow on a non-member. It is given to individuals that have contributed substantially to the benefit of others.
