Salvation Army Family Store Columbia Avenue, Hornby South, Christchurch, Canterbury 8042

Welcome to the Salvation Army Family Store located in Christchurch, New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, our store is dedicated to helping those in need within our community. Each year, we provide support to over 120,000 families and individuals through various services such as budgeting advice, food and clothing assistance, life skills programs, and other forms of comfort and support.

At the Salvation Army, our mission is to care for people, transform lives, and reform society. We are committed to making a positive impact and creating a better future for those facing challenging circumstances. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to provide the necessary resources and assistance to those who need it most.

We are proud to share that the Territorial Commander has recently approved several appointments, further strengthening our commitment to serving the community. These appointments will take effect on January 11, 2024, and we are excited to see the positive impact they will have.

The Salvation Army’s High Council chamber is a sacred place of prayer, where we gather to seek guidance and support. It is a symbol of our faith and dedication to making a difference in the lives of others. We believe in the power of prayer and the importance of spiritual upliftment in our work.

We also organize various events and conferences throughout the year, such as the upcoming Thought Matters 2023 conference. This conference brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures to discuss important issues and share insights. We are thrilled to announce that our keynote speaker for this year's conference is a renowned expert in their field, promising a thought-provoking and inspiring experience.

As advocates for social change, we believe in holding politicians accountable for reducing child poverty. Our ongoing campaign, 'Pressing Issues,' seeks to engage politicians in discussions about this critical topic. By raising awareness and demanding action, we aim to create a brighter future for children and families in need.

Additionally, the Salvation Army Social Policy and Parliamentary Unit addresses pressing issues such as jobs, incomes, and tax. We believe that these factors play a crucial role in shaping a fair and just society. Through our research and advocacy work, we strive to bring about positive change and ensure a better future for all.
