Alongside others

The Salvation Army continues to support those most disadvantaged through these challenging times – delivering essential services to many vulnerable people in financial need, at risk of or experiencing homelessness, affected by family violence, impacted by food insecurity, unable to find work, struggling with addiction, impacted by natural disasters, or socially isolated and lonely. Countless Australians – many for the first time – are reaching out to us for support.

As one of Australia’s largest providers of social services and programs for people experiencing hardship, injustice and social exclusion, The Salvation Army, as a Christian mission-driven movement, seeks to reduce social disadvantage and create a fair and harmonious society through holistic and personcentred approaches that reflect our mission, vision and values. When we see a person in need, we see not just the person, we also see their inherent potential.

Through a network of support services and programs across Australia, The Salvation Army assists one person every 17 seconds – which means in the last year we answered more than 1.9 million calls for help from those seeking support. The motivation and commitment of officers, staff, volunteers, supporters and donors enables us to provide services and lifechanging care tailored to meet the specific needs of the thousands of people who approach the Salvos every week for assistance, helping to address not only their immediate needs, but also working towards a more stable and positive future.

The Salvation Army is deeply committed to walking alongside people in need; providing support to overcome crisis, building a caring network, providing assistance and opportunities to empower them to regain control of their lives and reigniting hope in the face of despair. We are here for the long haul as we journey alongside others through their toughest days and into a more hopeful future – transforming Australia one life at a time with the love of Jesus.
