Published on
23 May 2020

The Hon Scott Morrison MP, Prime Minister of Australia, has delivered an impassioned appeal, asking all those who can, to support The Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal this year.

2020 has been challenging – with natural disasters and COVID-19, now more than ever, Australians from all walks of life are turning to the Salvos for urgent help.

With current COVID-19 restrictions, The Salvos have moved traditional doorknocking activities online. To get involved, visit the Digital Doorknock website, where you can fundraise yourself. Or you can donate directly to the Red Shield Appeal here, and help the Salvos leave no one in need.
