THE Salvation Army Portland is urging the local community to get involved in this year’s Red Shield Appeal, which will raise vital funds to continue supporting the most vulnerable and disadvantaged in the region.

Portland Salvos held their Red Shield Appeal Launch at Twelvefold Portland last Thursday morning, sharing breakfast with about 40 supporters. Captains Peter and Heather Stamp spoke about the appeal and its impact, with many people donating to the appeal following the breakfast.
