For many families, Christmas should be a time of joy—but rising living costs mean more Australians are dreading the extra burden. How can they celebrate when they’re already struggling to pay for food, rent and bills?

You can be hope for struggling Aussies this Christmas.

Through your support of the Salvos, Christmas meals, community lunches and festive events bring people together to share the true joy and hope of the season.

Last year, with the help of caring supporters like you, more than 1.5 million meals were served to people accessing homelessness services. Your gift today can help those facing hardship through crisis and towards a fresh start

This year the need is greater than ever: in the last 12 months, one in five Australian households have experienced severe food insecurity. Families are at breaking point.

Together, we can transform lives.

Please support the Salvos Christmas Appeal today and be the hope Australian families desperately need right now.
