Charity Works for the Salvation Army

2024 Hurstville Red Shield Appeal 

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Red Shield Appeal fundraising. The Red Shield Appeal is the Salvation Army's signature fundraising event, with funds raised going towards local community services, supporting vulnerable and marginalized groups, including victims of domestic violence, homelessness and drug dependence.

This year's Red Shield fundraising takes place mainly on Saturday May 25th, and Sunday May 26th, with volunteers collecting donations at the Hurstville train station and Hurstville Westfield Shopping Center. Community members and volunteers can get involved through collection points, door knocking, online donations and more. The George River Association actively participates in the Red Shield Appeal, and Councilor Ben Wang also works with volunteers to raise funds at train stations and shopping malls.

With the support of the Georges River Council, the Georges River Association, in cooperation with the Salvation Army Hurstville Corp, held a Spring Festival charity Gala at Club Central on the evening of February 21, 2021 to raise money for the Salvation Army's Cowid-19 emergency rescue plan. This event raised more than $8700. Read more >>
