A new partnership in Mackay, North Queensland, is helping strengthen support for The Salvation Army’s Samaritan House, which provides safe accommodation and critical services for women and children escaping domestic and family violence (DFV).
Recently, Dalrymple Bay Coal donated 10 mobile phones to Samaritan House, ensuring victim-survivors have access to safe, secure communication. These phones will play a vital role in helping women stay connected with support services, family and friends, while maintaining privacy and security.
Samaritan House Manager, Jules Kakono, said the donation will have a lasting impact.
“Having access to a safe phone can be life-changing for the women we support. It means they can reach out for help, stay in contact with loved ones and move forward with more independence. We are incredibly grateful to Dalrymple Bay Coal for recognising this need and stepping in to provide such practical assistance,” she said.
Dalrymple Bay Coal’s contribution adds to a growing network of local businesses and community organisations who are standing with Samaritan House to support families in crisis.
“Supporting Samaritan House aligns with our values of care and community,” a spokesperson for Dalrymple Bay Coal said. “We are proud to contribute in a way that directly helps women and children at a very difficult time in their lives.”
Samaritan House continues to rely on community partnerships to provide the tools and resources essential to empowering the women and children they support as they rebuild their lives.
