Alice Springs residents have been asked to give up a few hours of their time to collect for the Red Shield Appeal Doorknock Weekend, May 24 – 25.
Major Peter Wood says the Salvation Army operates eight programs across the Northern Territory including drug and alcohol programs, domestic violence shelters and family tracing services.
“Australia is going through a major economic transition and some families face an uncertain future. Many people who have been well off in the past are now genuinely worried for what is around the corner.”
Major Wood says volunteers can call 13 SALVOS (13 72 58) or register online.
