</iframe</div> <p>More and more people are calling on The Salvation Army for help because of rising food, electricity and petrol prices.</p> <p>Many of our clients are facing tremendous hardship and struggle even to put food on the table. And it’s often the children who suffer the most when household budgets don’t stretch far enough.</p> <p>When you donate money or food to a Salvation Army food bank you’re helping to provide one of life's most basic necessities to those who need it most.</p> <p>Food assistance is just one of the packages of care that we offer. We carry out a needs-based assessment with every person who comes in for welfare assistance to identify any other areas where we can also help, including preparing a household budget.</p> <p>Some of our centres offer short-term courses in areas such as parenting, cooking on a budget, goal setting and anger management. We also refer people to other Salvation Army services including addiction treatment, crisis accommodation and employment training.</p> <h3>How do I donate food?</h3> <p>Our support is provided through our Community Ministries centres and corps (churches). It is best to be in contact with them directly regarding your donation. </p> <h3><a class="readmore" href="../../../centres/">> Find a Salvation Army centre in your area</a></h3> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> <!-- /.row --> </div><!-- /#content, /.container --> </div><!-- /#wrap --> <footer id="footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4 footer__contact"> <h4>Territorial Headquarters</h4> <p>202-204 Cuba Street, Wellington 6011</p> <h4>Mailing address:</h4> <p>PO Box 6015, Marion Square, Wellington 6141</p> <p><label>Phone:</label> +64 4 384 5649<br> <!--<label>Fax:</label> +64 4 802 6259<br>--> <label>Email:</label> <a href="mailto:sef@salvationarmy.org.nz">General Enquiries</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.salvationarmy.org.nz/contact-us">Divisional Enquiry Details</a><br/> <a class="external" href="https://nz.linkedin.com/company/salvationarmynzfts"> Connect with us on LinkedIn</a></p> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-8"> <div class="footer-links"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-9"> <div class="regions"> <nav id="utility" role="navigation" class="navigation utility"> <ul><li class="first"><a href="/about-us">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="/contact-us-main">Contact Us</a></li> <li class="food-assistance btn"><a href="/centres/welfare" title=""><span class="ft-food-assistance"></span>Food Assistance</a></li> <li class="make-donation btn"><a href="https://secure.flo2cash.co.nz/donations/SalvationArmy/DonateSecure.aspx" title=""><span class="ft-make-donation"></span>Make a donation</a></li> <li class="last locate"><a href="/centres/"><i class="fa fa-map-marker"></i>Locate...<i class="fa fa-sort-desc pull-right"></i></a><ul id="locateDropdownMenu"><li><a href="/centres/#!/accommodation" class="accommodation">Accommodation</a></li><li><a href="/centres/#!/adventure-centre" class="adventure-centre">Adventure Centre</a></li><li><a href="/centres/#!/addictions" class="addictions">Alcohol and drug support</a></li><li><a href="/centres/#!/church" class="church">Church</a></li><li><a href="/centres/#!/ecec" class="ecec">Early childhood education</a></li><li><a href="/centres/#!/family-store" class="family-store">Family Store</a></li><li><a href="/centres/#!/gambling" class="gambling">Gambling support</a></li><li><a href="/centres/#!/youth" class="youth">Specialist youth services</a></li><li><a href="/centres/#!/welfare" class="welfare">Welfare (incl. food parcels)</a></li></ul></li> </ul></nav> <nav id="utility" role="navigation" class="navigation utility"> <ul><li class="first"><a href="http://www.salvationarmy.org" title="">Salvation Army International</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.salvationarmy.org/ihq/thegeneral" title="">Salvation Army General</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.salvationarmy.org/isjc" title="">International Social Justice Commission</a></li> <li><a href="https://story.salvationarmy.org/" title="">Learn about our Salvation Army story</a></li> <li class="last"><a href="/get-help/complaints-privacy" title="">Complaints</a></li> </ul></nav> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-3"> <nav id="social" class="navigation"> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SalvationArmyNZFTS" title="Like us on Facebook." class="external"> <i class="fa fa-facebook"> Like us on Facebook </i></a></li> <li> <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/SalvationArmyNZ" title="Follow us on Twitter." class="external"> <i class="fa fa-twitter"> Follow us on Twitter </i></a></li> <li> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/salvationarmynzft" title="Watch us on YouTube." class="external"> <i class="fa fa-youtube-play"> Watch us on YouTube </i></a></li> <li class="last"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/salvationarmynzfts" title="See our photos on Instagram." class="external"> <i class="fa fa-instagram"> See our photos on Instagram </i></a></li> </ul> </nav> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="disclaimer"> <div class="container"> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-11"> <p>© Copyright 2024, The Salvation Army New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa Territory.
