The Salvation Army’s Melbourne-based Asylum Seeker and Refugee Service recently held a Family Fun Day at their Brunswick centre.
The event, held on Saturday 21 June, featured activities for children as well as time for sharing stories of hope from beneficiaries of the service.
The Salvation Army Emergency Services (SAES) team provided a van and catering services, utilising halal meat donated by Madina Halal Meats. Additionally, the local Persian community contributed a coffee van and barista services from Thanks a Latte Co.
The guest speaker was Victorian Divisional Commander Colonel Kelvin Merrett.
Kidzone magazine’s Cousin Koala also attended the event.
The Asylum Seeker and Refugee Service has been assisting people seeking asylum with emergency relief, material aid, casework, chaplaincy and employment support since July 2010.
This specialised service of The Salvation Army is specially designed to deliver crucial support to people living in the community with a temporary or bridging visa status.
