Red Shield Appeal

Digital Doorknock

With the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically affecting the lives of so many Australians, our annual Red Shield Appeal is more important than ever.

For Australians who were already experiencing homelessness, unemployment, hardship and domestic violence, their situations have become even more extreme during this crisis. Others have unexpectedly lost their livelihoods and are turning to The Salvation Army for the very first time.

For people with disabilities, the elderly and those who are marginalised, isolated, lonely or ill, our chaplains and community workers offer an important personal connection, as well as access to other Salvos services.

This global event means the need is greater than ever before. Our services are in greater demand and the numbers of those who need help are increasing by the day. The Salvation Army is already seeing communities impacted by new financial hardship.

With Digital Doorknock, we're finding new ways to help

Our stores may be shut and our buckets may be lying unused, but let's show Australia what our community can do when the going gets tough. Through this website, community members and volunteers can click instead of knock to help those in need in 2020. We have such supportive community members all around Australia, and we ask you to connect with them digitally this year to raise your funds for Red Shield Appeal. Everything you need is ready to go:
