Thank you from IMB and Salvation Army

Thank you from IMB and Salvation Army

We have been blown away by the generosity of the community for this year’s The Salvation Army Australia Christmas Appeal. Hundreds of donations were received in our branches and head office, which will go a long way to making a difference in the lives of those doing it tough this festive season.

Seeing the hard work by a collective of community and local business volunteers at the Wollongong Salvation Army branch to get all the donations to their recipients was an inspiring experience.

IMB are proud of our continued partnership with the Salvation Army and we wish to thank everyone who contributed to this great cause.
