Salvation Army Christmas Appeal 2016

The Salvation Army works tirelessly to give support to Australians battling hard times. Along with shelter and gifts for families in need, The Salvation Army provides hampers to people struggling to afford basic meals.

Due to financial hardship, there will be thousands of Australians that will go without at least one meal on Christmas Day.

South West Personnel is again proud to participate in the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal by donating food hampers filled with pantry essentials.

Iluka Resources Christmas Hamper Donation

The holiday season is already upon us and while most of us are worried about what presents we will give/receive over Christmas some families are worried about where their next meal will come from.

This year SWP, in addition to our yearly contribution to the Salvation Army, has chosen to also contribute to our client’s, Iluka Resources Limited, annual donation to support Food Bank Bunbury and Busselton’s initiative. Food Bank provides food hampers and gifts for those in need during Christmas and we are proud to donate to this very important cause.

Salvation Army Christmas Appeal

South West Personnel is again proud to participate in the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal by donating food hampers filled with pantry essentials.

Recent research shows that more than one third of Australian households will purchase too much food for Christmas Day. However, there will also be thousands of Australians that will go without at least one meal on Christmas Day due to financial hardship. On Christmas Day alone, the Salvation Army expects to celebrate Christmas with at least 8000 people who are facing disadvantage or homelessness.
