Salvation Army Family Store

Welcome to the Salvation Army Family Store located at 355B Riccarton Road in Christchurch, New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, our store is dedicated to providing support and assistance to families and individuals in need.

Each year, we have the privilege of helping 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. Our mission at The Salvation Army is to care for people, transform lives, and reform society.

We are proud to announce that the Territorial Commander has approved several appointments that will further strengthen our commitment to our mission. This decision was made in the sacred space of the High Council chamber, where prayers were offered for guidance and wisdom.

Our institution believes in inclusivity, and we welcome delegates from diverse age groups, cultures, and backgrounds to participate in our events. One such event is the upcoming Thought Matters conference in 2023. We are thrilled to announce our keynote speaker, who will undoubtedly inspire and enlighten attendees.

Child poverty and pressing social issues are at the forefront of our concerns. As part of our advocacy efforts, we are urging politicians to explain their plans for reducing child poverty. Our Social Policy and Parliamentary Unit is actively engaging with policymakers to address pressing issues such as jobs, incomes, and taxes.

We are excited to share that our new appointments, approved by the Territorial Commander, will take effect on January 11, 2024. This step ensures that we continue to provide the highest level of care and support to those in need.
