The Salvation Army will be partnering with the Department of Social Development (DSD) to feed homeless people in Pretoria for the duration of South Africa’s Covid-19 lockdown.

The Salvation Army will be providing two meals a day for about 1 000 people at three venues in Pretoria, namely Marabastad, Princess Park and Frances Street.

Public relations secretary of The Salvation Army in Southern Africa, Major Carin Holmes, says: “Homeless people are a particular concern of our Church during this time of Covid-19 and the lockdown, and we are pleased to partner with the DSD in this initiative. All South Africans need to play their part in helping pull the country through this crisis.”

The Territorial Commander, Colonel Daniel Kasuso thanked President Cyril Ramaphosa for his leadership at this time and is asking all Churches to join hands with The Salvation Army to pray for the country and those affected by Covid-19.  

The Southern Africa Territory of The Salvation Army encompasses four countries - South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho and Swaziland and the island of St Helena. Its officers, soldiers and full-time employees provide spiritual and community services through approximately 230 corps, or churches, societies and outposts, as well as through schools, hospitals, institutions for children, street children, the elderly, men and abused women, daycare, goodwill, rehabilitation and social centres.

Donations can be made via the Salvation Army website https://www.salvationarmy.org.za/donations/
