The Salvation Army has launched its annual Christmas Appeal in the South Burnett to support Aussies doing it tough this festive season.
The Salvos hope to raise $3 million this year across Queensland.
“Christmas is the busiest time of the year for The Salvation Army across Queensland, and we expect this year to be no different,” Captain Tim Brown of the South Burnett Corps said.
“While Christmas is a time of joy and celebration for many, others doing it tough in our community find it an extremely difficult period for them personally/
“The increased isolation, financial stress and mental health impacts of COVID-19 this year will only exacerbate these issues. The Salvos want to leave no one in need this Christmas, and we need the generosity of the public this year to once again partner with us in support of locals doing it really tough.
“Anyone in need this Christmas can reach out to their local Salvation Army centre or by calling 1300-371-288 and we’ll do all we can to support you.
“We don’t want anyone to go it alone this year, if you need food, gifts, financial support or are feeling lonely, please get in touch with us.”
- Donations to the Salvation Army’s Christmas Appeal can be made online or by calling 13 SALVOS (13-72-58).
