Red Shield Appeal: Be The Hope
Date Published: 2nd Jun 2025
Did you know that one in seven Australian households has gone without basic essentials due to a lack of income over the past three months? Rising living costs are pushing more individuals and families into precarious housing situations, while many struggle to afford everyday needs.
In 2025, the Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal aims to raise $38 million to support over 2,000 services across Australia. The appeal highlights the severe impact of the cost-of-living crisis, with many Australians unable to afford essentials like food, housing, and healthcare. Funds raised will provide emergency relief, case management, and ongoing support for those facing financial hardship.
