Karen has been in her current role with The Salvation Army since 2012 as the Community Fundraising and Public Relations Coordinator for the Illawarra. Her role is to connect with the local community across the Illawarra to gain influential and monetary support for The Salvation Army so we can continue to provide the many services that The Salvation Army offers. A large part of what she does is to organise the Red Shield Appeal Business launch event and Doorknock activities across the Illawarra with the assistance of local business and community members.
