Support for cyclone-impacted communities
The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), in partnership with local Seventh-day Adventist churches, has mobilised to assist communities impacted by ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred in Queensland, Australia.
Sanitarium Health Food Company contributed to the relief effort by donating essential supplies, including nine cases of Weet-Bix, nine cases of So Good, and 25 cases of UP&Go. These were delivered to Coastlife Adventist Church to be included in hampers for affected families.
Coastlife Adventist Church, in collaboration with Gold Coast Central Adventist Church and ADRA, opened its doors to provide hot meals, drinks and other support to those in need. Meanwhile, LifeSwich Adventist Church in Ipswich hosted a community barbecue, offering food and fellowship to those impacted by the cyclone and subsequent flooding.
Additionally, volunteers from Kingscliff Adventist Church and Tweed Valley Adventist Op Shop joined forces to assist with clean-up efforts, removing debris from nine homes in affected areas.
