Auburn Salvos need helpers for Red Shield

All funds raised locally will stay local to support services within the community.
Now in its 56th year, the Red Shield Appeal is The Salvos flagship fundraising appeal and is aiming to raise $36 million nationally.
Auburn Salvos’ Leanne Plon says that after a tough few years, the community is still feeling the impacts of multiple disasters and the pandemic.
As a result, this year The Salvos are highlighting the ‘shadow pandemic’ that’s destroying lives: family and domestic violence.
It’s reported that one in four women in Australia will experience domestic violence in their lifetime, and it is the largest cause of women and children becoming homeless.
Leanne says the community has always faithfully backed The Salvos and this year, they need people to volunteer and raise funds to ensure they can continue their work in the community.
“We’re so grateful to the Auburn community who have always rallied together and supported the Red Shield Appeal year on year. This year is no different – we need the help of community members more than ever as we continue to support those who have felt the devastating impacts of the past couple years,” she said.
