Your support changes lives

Meeting needs, bringing hope

The Salvation Army is a movement dedicated to walking alongside people experiencing hardship, crisis and injustice. Be it a large-scale crisis, like war or natural disaster, or an individual crisis, such as loss of income, poor health or addiction, we are here to provide practical and spiritual support. And with over 140 years’ experience in supporting Australians in need, we understand it’s more than a band-aid fix.

Left unaddressed, issues such as homelessness, poverty, addiction and violence can often lead to a vicious loop of cyclical and even generational disadvantage. Shame and fear can further prevent people from seeking assistance when they need it most.

Your support of the Red Shield Appeal provides the necessary resources to enable us to continue meeting vulnerable people at their point of need and providing life-changing care to those who seek the Salvos every day for assistance.

Whether through accommodation and housing services, financial assistance, food vouchers, case management, emergency relief, addiction recovery services, advocacy and referrals, or local corps and community offerings, your support of the appeal can ensure those in need get not just immediate help, but also long-term solutions.

Your contribution has the power to transform lives, and give people hope and help for a new beginning.
