The Salvation Army Emergency Services (SAES) team provided catering for attendees at the Reserve Forces Day in Melbourne, Victoria.


The event, held at the Shrine of Remembrance, acknowledged the more than 1.25 million people who have served in Australia’s Defence Reserves since Federation.


Today, Reserve Forces support peacekeeping, humanitarian and disaster relief operations worldwide, according to Shrine Melbourne.


Reserve Forces Day is observed annually on 6 July, commemorating the establishment of the Citizen Military Forces in 1948.


For over 80 years, the SAES have been trusted by Australians in need, and are proud to partner with government, business and not-for-profit entities to deliver responses and recovery in the wake of large weather events and other crises.
