Salvos Flood Appeal Report released
As devastating floods swept across south-east Queensland and northern NSW in February 2022, The Salvation Army immediately stepped in, setting up hubs in 20 evacuation centres to assist not just those affected, but also the emergency services crew deployed. As the water receded, we transitioned to 30 high-traffic recovery hubs across the affected states, with the aim of providing ongoing support.
