Coronavirus Pandemic: The Salvation Army Connected and Continuing to Serve
Flexibility and adaptation are characterising the way in which The Salvation Army responds to communities impacted by the effects of COVID-19 right around the world. The movement is meeting new-found needs while also endeavouring to maintain its services to vulnerable people, often needing to amend practices to meet necessarily stringent guidelines and legislation to curb the spread of the coronavirus pathogen
help your fellow man
Everyday someone suffers misfortune. Someone who had their life together just yesterday. It may be due to an accident, illness, unemployment, divorce, assault or death of a relative – there are countless stories and countless people who need help. One person’s bad luck also often affects others, in families especially children. The funds from the Help Your Fellow Man collection are used to support these people.
if we are to
better the future,
we must disturb
