True Heroes
Because when hard choices don’t stop, neither can our support. Become a True Hero today.
By becoming a True Hero, you are joining our community of supporters who, through giving an ongoing, regular gift, are ensuring the accessibility of our vital wraparound services.
Across New Zealand, struggling Kiwis are choosing between essential items or food. Food or rent. Rent or school uniforms. All creating a mountain of pressure that led to 123,000 families and individuals reaching out to The Salvation Army for support, over the last year alone.
Through receiving genuine support during a person’s time of crisis, people receiving support leave with the confidence and tools they need to continue to grow, long after they’re back on their feet. We don’t just focus on fixing the now; we want people to see a positive path forward for them and their families.
This isn’t a one-off story solved by one-off giving. It’s ongoing. True Heroes ensure that access to our wraparound services is exactly that – ongoing.

Frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of becoming a True Hero and committing to regular giving?
Regular giving allows us to plan for the future, and ensure that our key wraparound social services are available for all vulnerable Kiwis. It takes the stress out of giving, as the process is automatic, and you have different options when it comes to how you donate.
You are the people that we know are committed to helping those who are struggling in Aotearoa and you are very much appreciated.
You can view the latest newsletter for True Heroes here. Each edition is full of stories and feedback about our work around the country.
What happens when I decide to become part of the True Heroes regular giving programme?
When you become part of the True Heroes family, firstly, we will send you an acknowledgement for your records, and then we will keep you involved with occasional updates so you can read the uplifting stories from the people whose lives you are impacting. We won’t send you too much, we know that you want as much of your money as possible to get to where it’s needed, and so do we.
