Captain Kevin Lumb said the organisation was looking for people to hit the streets and collect vital funds on May 24 and 25.
Captain Lumb said money would go to the Salvation Army's social services, providing emergency relief and case support for people struggling to make ends meet, drug and alcohol rehabilitation and education, family counselling, literacy education and support for ex-offenders.
``Our social programs would not exist without the Red Shield Appeal,'' Captain Lumb said.
``It's Tasmanians helping Tasmanians in need.''
