Salvation Army Family Store

Welcome to the Salvation Army Family Store in Christchurch, New Zealand! Located at 156 Carlyle Street, our establishment is not just a store, but also a point of interest and a place where we provide essential assistance to families and individuals in need.

Every year, we are proud to support over 120,000 families and individuals through various means 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.

In addition to our commitment to helping those in need, we are excited to share some recent news. The Territorial Commander has approved several appointments that will take effect on January 11, 2024. This demonstrates our dedication to serving the community and ensuring the smooth operation of our institution.

Furthermore, we recently held a prayer session in the sacred High Council chamber. Delegates from diverse age groups, cultures, and backgrounds participated in our thought-provoking conference, Thought Matters 2023. We are delighted to announce that our keynote speaker for this year's conference is someone who will surely inspire and enlighten all attendees.

As an organization, we strive to address pressing social issues. For instance, we have initiated the 'Pressing Issues' series, where we ask politicians to explain their plans to reduce child poverty. We firmly believe that jobs, incomes, and taxation are crucial matters that need to be addressed in this year's election.
