Benalla Salvos celebrate Christmas with a community lunch 

All Salvo Christmas events are unique to their community. Some Salvation Army churches partner with other churches or social services in the area to provide meals or carols services. 

In Benalla (Vic.), The Salvation Army provides a Christmas Day lunch to people in the community. The local officer (pastor), Captain Ben Anderson says it’s a “safe and welcoming space”, and, for many “the lunch is a highlight of their Christmas”.
