PILS

Many of you would have heard of PILS. If not, PILS is the Positive Impact Loan Scheme. This is a scheme devised in partnership between the Savings and Loan Credit Union and The Salvation Army. It offers no-interest loans to people through our Community Support Services at four locations in Adelaide (Marion CSS included) and Mount Gambier. The loans have helped people go to TAFE, fix whitegoods, pay-off loan sharks and pay-day lenders and get back on their feet again. To date over $200,000 in loans have been approved, and repayment rates are incredible high. This is just another way our church is able to impact our community for good. Congratulations to the CSS team for their work.
