The Bangalow Lions Club is proud to be working alongside the Salvation Army for this year’s Red Shield Appeal, helping raise vital funds that go directly back into our local community.
Championed by Lion Neil Sowerby, this partnership is already making a real difference. Thanks to community support, the Appeal has delivered 550 kids’ Christmas toy hampers and 215 family hampers, provided emergency financial assistance to more than 1,250 locals, and served thousands of meals to those in need.
From school lunch packs to support through the Hope Food Pantry, every dollar raised is helping locals doing it tough.
It’s a strong reminder that when Bangalow comes together, we can create real impact—right here at home.
