Community Support
Support Services is about a helping hand in a time of need. It is the good Samarian doing the unexpected without expecting anything in return. This area is as much about how we do things as what we actually do. Community Support is about connecting a real need with a real solution. It follows Jesus teaching of doing to others as we want others to do to us. It's about giving without expecting and about challenging what is wrong!
Here at The Salvation Army Tweed Centre we believe in the teachings of Jesus.
We as Christians are commanded to offer ourselves freely to others in need.
Our Community Support program endeavours to do just that by offering welfare assistance, meal support, emergency response team, sponsorship programs, international mission trips and more.
Luke 10:30-37 (The Message)
30-32Jesus answered by telling a story. "There was once a man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho. On the way he was attacked by robbers. They took his clothes, beat him up, and went off leaving him half-dead. Luckily, a priest was on his way down the same road, but when he saw him he angled across to the other side. Then a Levite religious man showed up; he also avoided the injured man.
33-35"A Samaritan traveling the road came on him. When he saw the man's condition, his heart went out to him. He gave him first aid, disinfecting and bandaging his wounds. Then he lifted him onto his donkey, led him to an inn, and made him comfortable. In the morning he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take good care of him. If it costs any more, put it on my bill—I'll pay you on my way back.'
36"What do you think? Which of the three became a neighbor to the man attacked by robbers?"
37"The one who treated him kindly," the religion scholar responded.
Jesus said, "Go and do the same."
