Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal Breakfast

13th May 2026 at the Caloundra RSL.

What is the Red Shield Appeal?
Every 17 seconds, The Salvation Army in Australia helps someone in need. And this help is made possible through the generosity of people like you, who support the Red Shield Appeal.

The compounded impact of the financial and social events of the past few years means homelessness and hardship is fast becoming the reality for an increasing number of individuals and families, including more employed Australians.

The Salvation Army has walked alongside Australians for over 140 years — providing shelter, safety and support to those in need. Over the last financial year, we provided over 1 million nights of accommodation and more than $24 million in financial assistance via cash, gift cards, vouchers and more to those in need.

But our work is far from over.

This Red Shield Appeal, we ask you to support us, and be the hope people desperately need to move through uncertainty, towards stability.
