Put Your Hand Up To Volunteer For The Salvation Army's Red Shield Appeal This Weekend!

This morning on the show, Claire & Sam spoke to Lauren from The Salvation Army to chat about the upcoming Red Shield Appeal.

The Red Shield Appeal is The Salvation Army's signature fundraising drive, helping fund their network of social and community services to aid people doing it tough.

So, how does the Red Shield Appeal help? Here's what it can help to provide:

• Accommodation for over 2000 people per night
• Over 36,000 people assisted by homelessness services, by way of case management support
• Over 100,000 people assisted with hospitality, in-kind and personal assistance in disaster affected situations by Salvation Army Emergency Services
• Support to over 14,000 people by Financial Counsellors (Moneycare)
• Over 27,000 significant contacts made by Chaplains
• Support to over 3,000 by Aged Care services
