MAJOR Rhonda Elkington anticipates The Salvation Army will experience one of their biggest demands ever for economic and social hardship support in 2020, after fourteen decades of operation.<\/p>\n

Although this May\u2019s annual Red Shield Appeal fundraiser is contending with a pandemic, the corps officer at the Ballarat Community Church is encouraging residents to get online and involved with an adapted initiative, the Digital Doorknock.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe COVID-19 crisis has financially crippled many Australians and it will take months to see the real impact it will have,\u201d Major Elkington said.<\/p>\n

The web campaign began a couple of weeks ago, already generating money which stay local and keep the Salvos\u2019 overwhelmed crisis assistance services functional, like homelessness accommodation, support for vulnerable families, community children\u2019s programs, emergency relief, and financial counselling.<\/p>\n
