Officiating was Bega Valley Shire deputy mayor Liz Seckold, who spoke of the needs of our community and the role the Salvos play in that arena.
Also present was the Bega District Band who kept all entertained with some great music.
Doorknockers seeking donations will be out this weekend, May 24-25, with the community urged to give generously.
The money raised from the appeal will go towards The Salvation Army's vast network of services that help Australians in need.
Over the past 12 months, the Salvos have supported more than 38,000 people experiencing homelessness, 14,000 people overcoming addiction, provided over 50,000 financial counselling sessions, given care to 5000 people experiencing family violence and assisted more than 150,000 people with emergency relief.
