Salvation Army

As the warmth of an Australian summer approaches, so does the unfortunate reality of natural disasters. The Salvation Army is gearing up to face this challenge head-on, calling 1,000 volunteers to join their Emergency Services (SAES) teams before summer’s start.



These emergencies range from summer bushfires to the recent floods in Queensland. They offer those affected by disasters vital meals, supplies, and emotional support.
