Get involved this Christmas
Economic and social challenges of the past few years means many Aussies are facing increased financial stress — especially those already in the midst of hardship and crisis.
As a result, The Salvation Army has also experienced a sharp increase in demand for its services, and we anticipate that need to persist over this Christmas. But we need your help.
Here are some ways you can support the Salvos this Christmas, and be the hope people around Australia desperately need.
