True Heroes
Every week, over 300 new families contact The Salvation Army for help.
For those Kiwis who feel they have nowhere else to turn, The Salvation Army brings hope. We provide a hand up to people living in poverty—those who are treading water, working hard and getting nowhere.
That’s why we need you!
Regular giving funds four fundamental pillars of our social service assistance programmes. For $35 a month, you can help provide:
Regular giving puts your compassion and empathy into action.
Your monthly gift can put a roof over families who would otherwise be in the cold, food in the mouths of those who would otherwise go hungry and provide access to wraparound services which can help vulnerable Kiwis get up, move forward and find hope again.
We never know where life will take us.
Sudden changes can happen to any one of us. For the first time, we could find ourselves in need of help. We may need food for our hungry whānau, help and support to become the best parent we can be or we may need to find a home for our family. And in those situations, a helping hand can make all the difference.
Please join us and become one of the everyday people helping others every day.
