Salvos door-knock ads offer ‘Hope where it’s needed most’
The Salvation Army has backed its door-knock appeal over the weekend with a pair of ads focusing on the homeless and missing people, hoping to trigger donations when the knock comes at the door.
Created in-house, the work helps support the annual Red Shield Appeal and will continue to be used throughout the year.
The first ad in the campaign highlights the pain of seeking a missing child that never ends, even when that hunt continues for more than two decades.
It goes on to show how the Salvos help find 40 missing people every month and reunite them with their families.
Oh geez…if that doesn’t do it nothing will
Forgettable and terrible. Waste of time money effort. Sad.
* hope not available for people wanting to marry a same sex partner or injecting drug users looking for a safe place to inject.
That would be terrible. If it was true:
From the Salvos international www –
“A diverse range of views on homosexuality exist within The Salvation Army – as among the wider Christian (and non-Christian) community. But no matter where individual Salvationists stand on this matter, The Salvation Army does not permit discrimination on the basis of sexual identity in the delivery of its services or in its employment practices. Our international mission statement is very clear on this point when it says we will ‘meet human needs in [Jesus’] name without discrimination’. Anyone who comes through our doors will be welcomed with love and service, based on their need and our capacity to provide.
The Salvation Army stands against homophobia, which victimises people and can reinforce feelings of alienation, loneliness and despair.”
No idea about the injecting rooms.
