Hello
The huge up-side
of a throw-away
society
In today’s lifestyle, it is hard to deny the
current trend of a throw-away society. As
recent as fifty, seventy, a hundred years ago,
households used and then recycled just
about every item they owned, because that
was how things worked. Modern life is full
of conveniences, but short on time.
The Salvation Army has been around for
decades and thrives on the current trend
known as a throw-away society. Their
reputation is known community wide as
a place for refuge, assistance and a caring
hand.
The Sallies enjoy providing a destination
where people can buy clothes and
household goods at a fraction of the price.
The Sallies benefit when people generously
choose to donate their old things to their
drop off spots as individuals have a good
ole clean out. Out with the old—to the
Salvation Army Family Stores—and in with
the new!
The Sallies would like to thank the
Canterbury community. Whether born,
bred and raised in New Zealand or
migrated from another land, Cantabrians
have generous hearts the Sallies do not take
for granted.
The Sallies worldwide mission is to
recycle items society wants to throw away
and give them a second life. This makes
their stores a special haven for bargain
shoppers and those who like nostalgia.
Thanks to the patrons who shop at their
locations, the profits from their Family
Stores help fund their work with people
who might feel a little ‘thrown away’ by
life, including those who just need a little
support and encouragement to get a fresh
start. Through their stores, they easily assist
families who lose everything in fires, or
who find themselves homeless and without
furniture and clothes for other reasons.
The money people spend at their Family
Stores support community programmes
such as their food banks, family support or
advocacy outreach. The Sallies offer classes
to the community such as budgeting. Their
Family Stores offer a gateway to network
and connect people with all kinds of social
programmes.
Their stores have even been known to
offer people a second chance. Retirees and
volunteers with diversified backgrounds
and from all walks of life, give back to the
community in worthwhile ways.
The Sallies have a special place in their
hearts for their volunteers with any type
of physical or intellectual disability as
they can offer them a space where they
can contribute to society, gain friends and
achieve.
In their Family Stores, they provide
free in-store retail training to volunteers
wanting to gain retail experience. This
comes with the bonus of being able to
complete NCEA Unit Standards, assisted
by a tutor who visits regularly.
The Sallies love Canterbury and strive
to be the heart of the community. Come
home to the heart. Find your nearest store
