Hpmelessness

Learning that people slept on the streets of London William Booth, founder of The Salvation Army, told his son Bramwell, 'Go and so somerthing! Booth the younger replied, 'What can we do?' And hearing about the problem of homelessness today we may well echo his words.
Thousands, young and old, sleep on the streets in Australia every night, but what can we do about it? The Salvation Army Historical Society will be focussing on the problem on Friday the 22nd August at the Auditorium, Inala Village 220 Middleborough Road, Blackburn at 7.30 pm. There will be DVD footage about what the Army has done for the homeless in the past and is doing at present. Nationally known speakers will be addressing the issues and there will be music by the Camberwell Band and the 'Hope Choir - the Army's equivalent of the 'Choir of Hard Knocks'
There will be no charge for admission but a collection will be taken for work among street people and this may be in cash or kind such as hand knitted garments like scarves, beanies or bought socks. All will be welcome.
