• People love Karratha Doorways
The Salvation Army Karratha Doorways team in Western Australia has received the People’s Choice Organisation Award at the 2024 Pilbara Community Service Excellence Awards.
An evening of celebration and entertainment announced the finalists and winners and acknowledged the hard-working organisations and individuals who make a difference in the Pilbara.
“This year, Doorways Karratha was in the finals for the Pilbara for Purpose awards – people's choice organisation category – and we won!” said Doorways Coordinator Danielle Black. “We all love what we do and are grateful for the recognition by our amazing community.
Doorways provides emergency relief and holistic case management with referral to internal and external support services. Doorways aims to support people as they seek to make changes in their lives, and caseworkers work alongside people as they develop plans to achieve their goals.
The Pilbara communities face the struggles of inequality and an escalation in the housing crisis. Karratha Salvation Army offers a range of supports and services to the area.
“It is hard working with people who are often at the lowest points in their life and in survival mode, but it is so significant and important to continue this work,” Danielle said. “I am so proud of our amazing team, what we accomplish together and the high standard in which we hold ourselves.”
Caseworker Liz Milkovic, emergency relief assessor Janet Aszkielowicz, and Danielle Black accepted the award with Karratha Corps Officer Captain Jodie Jones present.
