A thought today can make change possible tomorrow

Every gift you send to keep our Salvation Army programmes running is precious in the reality of giving help to others ‘today’. And you can never be thanked enough for each one of them.

But there’s another gift that you might want to consider at some stage. It’s a gift that costs you nothing now. It’s the gift of naming The Salvation Army as a beneficiary in your Will – importantly, only after you’ve ensured the future care of your loved ones.

A bequest is a beautiful legacy which will continue working in your name for the very real benefit of others. It also attests to the values you’ve held during your lifetime, and is a memorial to that.

If you would like to consider making this special gift to the future, we’d love to hear from you – with all conversations being held in strict confidence. Please contact Ethresia van Staden on 011 718 6751 or email ethresia.vanstaden@saf.salvationarmy.org.

Above all, should you make this decision, we hope that you’ll tell us about it, so that we can thank you in the manner that your visionary kindness deserves.

Love’! It’s an important word in the vocabulary of any language in the world. And the reason is because we all want love in our lives. In this ‘month of love’, take a step back with me to the time of the ancient Greeks who had eight different words for the various types of love.… Continue Reading
