❤️THE RED SHIELD APPEAL STARTS TODAY❤️
Today officially marks the beginning of the 2026 Red Shield Appeal for the Maryborough Salvation Army!
Every dollar raised stays right here in our local Maryborough community to support people. Not everyone we support is homeless — many are hardworking people and families who’ve simply hit a rough patch and need a little help to get back on their feet. 🙏
Your donations help us provide:
🍽️ Community meals twice a week
🛒 Emergency relief assistance
🎟️ Food vouchers
🚿 Warm showers
🧼 Washing facilities
❤️ Support, care and hope for local families and individuals in crisis
This isn’t just fundraising — it’s neighbours helping neighbours, faith put into action, and a community coming together to care for one another. ✨
Every 17 seconds, The Salvation Army in Australia helps someone in need. And this help is made possible through the generosity of people like you.
As the cost-of-living crisis deepens, it is resulting in an unsurmountable mountain of financial and personal stress for many. Countless Aussies, many for the first time, are coming to us for support.
We need your help to ensure that when people reach out to the Salvos, we are there to provide practical assistance to those facing homelessness, hardship, and injustice.
As Scripture reminds us:
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2 📖
If you see our volunteers out and about during the Red Shield Appeal, please stop by and say hello or consider making a donation. ❤️
Together, we can continue to make a real difference in Maryborough.
