The Salvation Army's work in Australia

The Salvos began in Australia back in 1880 when a tradie stood on the back of a cart and shouted "If there's a man here who hasn't had a meal today, let him come have tea with me". Today, we're still bringing hope where it's needed most by providing meals, accommodation, counselling, financial assistance and much more to Aussies who are doing it tough.
