The 61st Red Shield Appeal is here and the Salvos are always blown away by the way communities come together across the country in support.
It is the everyday folk who are the heartbeat of The Salvos and the Red Shield Appeal.
The Red Shield Appeal allows the most vulnerable and disadvantaged to get the support they vitally need and deserve.
It means work can be continued in areas like homelessness, family and domestic violence, youth, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, financial hardship and so much more.
The Salvos help someone in Australia every 17 seconds, but this doesn’t happen by accident.
It is because of the incredible frontline workers and dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to support Aussies in need.
And because of the generosity of Australians, giving what they can to the Red Shield Appeal so someone else can receive hope.
Whether you are able to give financially, or give your time through volunteering, every little bit supports the Salvos to continue helping people.
The Salvos are aiming to raise $38 million this year and trust Australians will be generous.
The best part is, you can know that funds raised locally in your community will remain local, supporting your fellow community members doing it tough.
So please, if you can this year, consider supporting the Salvos Red Shield Appeal.
