The Salvation Army- Te Ope Whakaora- The Army That Brings Life

 

From its roots in Victorian England founded by William and Catherine Booth in 1865, The Salvation Army has expanded its work into over 130 countries, meeting social needs and transforming lives worldwide.

​

In Aotearoa New Zealand our work includes over 90 worship and community centres meeting the needs of local people that range from alcohol, drug, and gambling addiction to addressing wide-ranging social needs such as deprivation and poverty, family dysfunction, mounting debt and depression. The Salvation Army’s wrap around services includes addiction support, counselling, financial mentoring, parenting programs and whānau support.

 

This work is needed more than ever before. The scourge of Covid-19 is impacting our society in many ways, making life tougher for our most vulnerable people. But we stand by them, living out The Salvation Army's mission of caring for people, transforming lives, and reforming society by God’s power. We continue to fight for those at the margins of our society.

 

We cannot do this work without your help. Money is needed to feed the hungry, staff our centres and bring hope into dark places. Please consider how you and your business might be a vital support for our work across Aotearoa New Zealand. Together we can work from the ‘top of the cliff’ with initiatives that have maximum impact and reduce the need for crisis support at the ‘bottom of the cliff’.
