Following on from their support of The Salvation Army Bushfire Appeal, Tonnex International have again aligned with The Salvation Army for their 2009 Christmas Appeal, pledging to donate $5 from every sales invoice throughout November. Tonnex International Director, George Kozman commented that “we were pleased to be able to raise much needed funds towards the Bushfire Appeal earlier in the year and again encourage all our customers to help support this truly great cause.”
Major Neil Venables, Territorial Public Relations Secretary of The Salvation Army, said that at Christmas time, more than any other time of the year, people turn to The Salvation Army for help. “During the Christmas & New Year period many people struggle to make ends meet. 2009 has been a very unsettled and uncertain year for many Australians. At this seasonal time of year there is an increase in pressure on families.”
Tonnex, who celebrate their 11th Birthday in November are hoping to raise $30,000 towards this year’s Christmas Appeal. To help reach a maximum donation, Tonnex will also be providing a donation portal on their website at www.tonnex.com.au where Resellers can donate directly to the Appeal.
“With the support of the Australian community, this Christmas The Salvation Army will provide help in way of food vouchers, hampers and toys to people in need. This will include the distribution of nearly a quarter of a million toys and providing in excess of 100,000 food vouchers and hampers”, said Major Venables.
“We are passionate about supporting our community and as a business we do all we can to support charities such as The Salvation Army in the amazing work that they do for so many in need”, said Kozman.
