Fundraise online
Right now, everyday life has turned into a struggle for thousands of Australians.

Often, those in need feel they have to struggle alone.

Your support goes a long way
Funds raised through the Red Shield Appeal go directly to helping Australians in need.
Salvos are active in local communities connecting with the most vulnerable and isolated and making a real difference in their lives. Because of you, we can continue to offer safety for women and children escaping family violence; provide emergency relief for people struggling to cope with everyday expenses; and give a warm meal and shelter to those experiencing homelessness. Each year, hundreds of thousands of lives are touched by your generosity and this year even more people are reaching out for help – many who have never needed it before.
