What a wonderful achievement.
How much good has been achieved in communities across Victoria on the back of the Red Shield Appeal and the generosity of those who give to the cause.
It's important to note every single dollar pledged in Bendigo helps our Salvation Army branch go about its great work.
This year donations will assist the work of the Rural Support Program and community members who have battled flood and drought in recent times.
The Salvation Army hopes to raise $280,000 across northern Victoria in the next two weeks.
If you have any doubt on how beneficial your donation might be, consider the words of those who benefit.
''The Salvation Army has been an incredible support to my family and community. We were afraid of judgement but John (rural support worker) didn't come to judge or compare. He came to listen, care and in fact he is a rare constant in our lives. i don't think we'd still be there if it wasn't for John and the Salvos,'' said Calivil resident Leanne Welsh.
Please give so the Salvos can continue their great work.
