Red Shield Appeal exceeds target

Donations to the recent Salvation Army Doorknock Appeal from Peninsula residents have amounted to $33,056.

This was $1256 more than the target amount of $31,800.

"It is an excellent result," said Central Coast Red Shield Appeal chairman Mr Tony Sansom.

"It's a record amount.

"The people of the Peninsula can be proud of the significant contribution they made this year."

The Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal helps fund many Salvation Army projects, ranging from counselling to helping the homeless.

"All money raised on the Central Coast stays on the Central Coast," said Mr Sansom.

The Red Shield Appeal continues until June 30.
