Family Support
The Salvation Army provides a range of services aimed at helping families. Services such as food banks, parenting assistance, budgeting advice and furnishings are provided by Community Ministries and some corps (churches).
Other parts of The Salvation Army provide pregnancy and childbirth support, early childhood assistance, family tracing, employment training and hospice care. A network of Family Stores collects donations of quality, second-hand household goods and makes them available to the community at reasonable prices. The money raised goes to support a range of Salvation Army programmes.
Community Ministries
The Salvation Army provides support to families through a network of Community Ministries centres, as well as through many Salvation Army Corps (churches) throughout New Zealand.
Their primary focus is the poorest, most vulnerable and easily forgotten people of our society. Most are in the lowest income group who may lack adequate housing, food, life and parenting skills, and personal and family/whanau support.
Working with People
The Salvation Army Community Ministries works with individuals, families/whanau and wider communities to help them gain a greater level of control over their lives and ultimately a higher quality of life for all.
Families that come to The Salvation Army may require immediate emergency assistance, such as food, clothing, bedding or temporary accommodation.
 |
Others may require transitional assistance, such as counselling, child care, supervised access, transitional housing and supported accommodation. |
Others may require help to break the cycle of dependency upon welfare services. The Salvation Army offers a range of self-development programmes such as budgeting, parenting courses, cookery classes, anger management programmes, self esteem courses and sewing classes.
Advocacy
The Army also provides advocacy services for clients who may lack knowledge of the assistance available to them through government sources. Trained advocates work alongside clients giving them much needed information and support.
This may result in clients receiving their correct benefit entitlement, or additional assistance, which in turn reduces their reliance on food parcels or other forms of charitable aid.
