Last year, your incredible support helped make a significant impact during Homelessness Week. Thank you for standing with us and The Salvation Army to raise awareness and advocate for solutions.👏

This year, the Salvos are focusing on the theme “End homelessness — for good.” Let’s continue our efforts to highlight the importance of secure housing and educate our communities on how they can help.

The Salvation Army supports dozens of families every day. But the demand is increasing and more needs to be done. Join and help raise funds for the Salvos Sleepout on 6 September, as they are able to continue and expand their work in the local community.

❤️This week marks the start of Homelessness Week❤️

The Salvation Army is dedicated to raising awareness and advocating for solutions to end homelessness. The theme this year, “End homelessness — for good,” highlights the importance of secure housing for better health, stronger connections, and stable futures.

The Queensland government data shows there are 17.4 people per 10,000 in Cairns that access specialist homelessness services on any given night. That’s more than double our states rate, which is 7.2 per 10,000 people.

As one of Australia’s leading providers of homelessness services, we invite you to join The Salvation Army make real difference in our community.

Consider making a donation today, we can create a brighter future for all ❤️

❣️ The Ruby Ball - Thank You ❣️

With the incredible support of everyone involved, we are pleased to announce that The Ruby Ball and Salvos Champions FNQ raised an amazing $117,000 for the Cairns Salvos.

The aim of the night was to fundraise for much-needed wraparound services to help those in need at the new Salvation Army Cairns Supported Accommodation facility. And the night did just that! It was a huge success, thanks to the many locals who attended and the very generous sponsors, of which we were proud to be one.

Together, we are breaking the cycle of poverty and addressing the root causes of homelessness by supporting the Salvos.

On behalf of the FNQ Salvos Champions, we would like to thank:
❤️ All the event attendees
❤️ The supportive and generous donors
❤️ Event sponsors
❤️ Corps Officers and Salvation Army team members

🙏🏾Thank you.

We can’t wait to do it all again next year!

Thank you, City Life Magazine, for your support and for highlighting the success of the Ruby Ball 2024! We are incredibly grateful for the $117,000 raised for the Cairns Salvos. Together, we are making a difference!

THE RUBY BALL 2024 💃 ❤️

10 years ago the Ruby Ball concept was born thanks to local philanthropist and business leader, Shelley Wild.

Last Saturday night, another powerhouse business woman, Joan Wilson, re-ignited the flame through the Salvos Champions FNQ and brought the concept back to life raising an amazing $117,000 for the Cairns Salvos.

The aim of the night was to fundraise for much needed wrap around services to help those in need at the new Salvation Army Cairns Supported Accommodation facility. And the night did just that!! It was a huge success thanks to many locals who attended and the very generous sponsors, of which we were proud to be one of.

Together we are breaking the cycle of poverty and addressing the root cause of homelessness by supporting the Salvos.

The Salvation Army is building a modern complex of 40 residential units providing much needed social housing for males, females, and families. This is fully funded by the Qld Government and The Salvation Army. But the wrap around services had not been funded until the Ruby Ball event.

In addition to putting a roof over someone’s head, The Salvation Army can now offer a range of services and programs designed to break the cycle of poverty and address the root causes of their homelessness and help people find a new beginning.

Donations are still being accepted here:
