Celebrating 60 Years: The Enduring Spirit of the Red Shield Appeal

Join us on a journey through the decades of the Red Shield Appeal as we celebrate 60 years. This video highlights the heartfelt and sometimes humorous experiences of dedicated volunteers like Robyn, Val, David, and Diane, who have played pivotal roles in The Salvation Army's Red Shield Appeal since its inception in 1964. From walking miles in stiletto heels to sharing personal faith stories at doorsteps, our volunteers have seen it all. Watch as they recount tales of seeding neighbourhoods with appeal envelopes, managing unexpected encounters during collections, and adapting to digital fundraising methods. Each story not only reflects the volunteers' unwavering commitment but also the community's generous spirit that has supported this cause through the years. Discover the impact of the Red Shield Appeal and the personal journeys of those who have dedicated their lives to this noble mission.
