Orange Salvation Army Captain David Grounds made a visit to the students last week and encouraged them to sign up to be a doorknocker this Sunday, May 31.
"We're asking students to support us and raise as much money as we can," he said.
"In the Orange, Canowindra and Blayney region we're aiming to raise around $60,000."
Nationally, your donation will help provide
50, 000 meals for the hungry every week, support 11, 000 homeless people and 1100 women fleeing domestic violence.
Moyne Aged Care chaplain Gwen Barnard said a recent Red Shield Appeal afternoon tea was also well-supported by residents, family and friends.
"We raised $172 and 43 people attended which was wonderful to see, "Ms Barnard said.
"Cowra Salvation Army Captain, Mark Williamson was also our guest speaker," she said.
"For the Salvation Army Red Appeal all our streets are covered which is excellent."
