Supporting Bathurst's Battlers - women in need
The Salvation Army also offered assistance to homeless and pregnant women through the Ebenezer Maternity and Rescue Home in Bathurst, which opened in 1897. It operated from a site in Piper Street for seven years before being re-located to Durham Street. The Ebenezer Maternity and Rescue Home provided accommodation and care for homeless women and girls as well as maternity care.
