The Salvation Army have been supporting Territorians for over 70 years now. This support is constant, all year round and not just through the Christmas period. Christmas time is where help, care and support is needed at an increase level to bring joy and hope to families and individuals who are alone and experiencing hardship.

• We are registered Housing Provider and also provide housing for people experiencing homelessness as well as give assistance with obtaining housing options
• We operate Catherine Booth House in Darwin accommodate women fleeing Domestic Family Violence and offer outreach support services to many women and children
• At Christmas time, our Homeless and Domestic Family Violence Hostels provide lunches and gifts for their residents, some of our community centres put on lunches to all the community which also gives people somewhere welcoming to come who would have nowhere else to go on Christmas day.
