Disaster Relief 

In times of need, the Seventh-day Adventist Church will be there to lend a hand.  

 ADRA is officially recognised in over 120 nations as a professional non-sectarian development and relief agency.

How does ADRA help out in an emergency?

ADRA Australia works through its global network to assist in providing relief to victims of both natural disasters and social unrest around the world. Assistance is provided through medical and food aid, shelter, infrastructure, and through assistance in re-establishing communities after the crisis has passed.

Victims of bushfires and floods in Australia have been provided with accommodation through ADRA's work with local governments and other charity organisations. Those affected by drought have received assistance through food parcels and debt management. The training provided by ADRA ensures the Seventh-day Adventist network of volunteers are able to efficiently and effectively achieve their task.

But it's not only ADRA that helps out in an emergency!

Seventh-day Adventist members are often volunteers in an emergency, lending assistance through both physical and financial support. Adventist volunteers in Australia often serve with local SES workers or as volunteer fire fighters or in their local councils.  Because Seventh-day Adventist's believe in the value of serving others, you will find them helping out in many different ways.
