To celebrate 60 years of the Red Shield Appeal, The Salvation Army Australia has partnered with Channel 7 to air a Salvos Red Shield Appeal TV Special this Sunday.
The 30-minute TV special follows Salvos ambassadors Samantha Jade and Joe Hildebrand as they visit four of our vital services to reflect on the incredible work of our frontline teams.
Take a look below at what to expect from the TV special:
The Salvo’s Red Shield Appeal runs through the months of April, May and June each year. In 2024, the national Doorknock will take place on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 May.
Red Shield Appeal funds help The Salvation Army deliver vital community programs and social services, such as: Emergency financial assistance, Refuge for women and children in crisis, Shelter and support for those facing homelessness, Crisis, transitional and long-term housing, Youth drop-in centres and support programs, Emergency and disaster relief (immediate support, all the way to long-term recovery), Drug and alcohol addiction recovery and rehabilitation support, Employment training programs, and Chaplaincy.
If you would like to get involved, either by donating, signing up to fundraise, or volunteer to help – you can see more on The Salvation Army’s website here.
If you can’t tune in on the 5th of May, the TV special can be streamed on demand through 7Plus.
