It happens because of the 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.
With May here, and the weather getting cooler, and The Salvation Army is gearing up for its biggest fundraiser yet; the 61st Red Shield Appeal, on this weekend.
The Salvos are aiming to raise $38 million this year, and the best part is, you know that funds raised locally remain local, supporting people in your community who are doing it tough.
It is the everyday folk in local communities who are the heartbeat of The Salvos and the Red Shield Appeal, so if you have some time to spare, your help with the collection, you will be welcomed with open arms.
The Red Shield Appeal allows the most vulnerable and disadvantaged in society 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.
Whether you can give financially, or give your time through volunteering, every little bit supports the Salvos to continue helping people.
So please, if you can this year, consider supporting the Salvos Red Shield Appeal.
To donate or volunteer for The Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal or if you need support from the Salvos, visit salvationarmy.org.au or call 13 SALVOS.
