Relief Efforts:
In partnership with local churches and pastors, Adventist Community Services (ACS) and ADRA Australia are actively coordinating flood relief efforts across the region. These ministries are not only responding to immediate needs—they are representing the Church’s commitment to be a visible, caring, Christ-centred presence in times of crisis.
From food relief and shelter to emotional and spiritual support, ACS teams are showing up for the community when it matters most. As one of the Church’s key tools for community engagement, Adventist Community Services plays a vital role in connecting faith with practical care.
To support these efforts, you can donate at:
Better Books & Food:
Due to staff access issues caused by weather conditions, Better Books & Food is closed today and will reopen on Monday.
