Every passing year, the partnership between The Salvation Army and First Nations communities continues to strengthen through response efforts and community engagement across Canada.

For Tracy Desjarlais, The Salvation Army’s Indigenous liaison for public affairs and emergency disaster services (EDS), collaboration goes beyond providing services. Instead, it means working together and opening paths for conversation that lead to mutual understanding.

There are some things you notice right away:
A table filled with food 🥘
A child is opening a Christmas gift 🎁
A cup of hot chocolate warming cold hands ☕️

And then there are the things you may never notice at all:
An elevator that reaches the ground floor when the power goes out
A door that opens when someone needs to get out
A safety system quietly standing ready, just in case 🤗

At L’Abri d’espoir, a safe shelter and transitional housing facility for women in Montreal, care can look like both.
