Adventist Development and Relief Agency

ADRA (Adventist Development and Relief Agency) is part of the worldwide humanitarian operation of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. ADRA strives to create opportunities, empower people and share hope with the people of the world.

At a local level, members of the Seventh-day Adventist church, in partnership with Government sponsored welfare organisations such as Centre Link, provide practical, humanitarian support for those in need. This may include assistance with transport, food, clothing, furniture and other household goods in response to short term financial need or following the loss of the family home through events such as fire.

Caring for accommodation in time of disaster.
In time of wide spread natural disaster in Australia, the Seventh-day Adventist church has responsibility for accommodation under the NSW Disaster plan.

Emergency accommodation is the provision of temporary shelter / accommodation for people rendered homeless by disaster.

The Adventist Church keeps a list of available emergency accommodation and venues for possible welfare centres and, in an emergency, organises the allocation of displaced people to temporary accommodation.

The Cobargo church has members trained to take their place in the event of an emergency.
