The nib Newcastle Knights have confirmed the Salvation Army Hunter as their Charity of the Month for March, reinforcing their commitment to supporting local organisations making a difference in the community.
Coming off the back of a $25,000 ClubGRANTs donation through the Newcastle Knights and Wests Group, the initiative has seen a crucial injection of funds into the Charity's Red Shield Appeal.
The Appeal supports the community by targeting homelessness, alcohol and drug abuse and a range of other societal issues.
Major Gary Masters, the External Communications Manager of the NSW branch of the Army, praised the real-world effects of the group's donation.
"The grant is making a real difference," Major Masters said.
"Every dollar we raise goes to the Red Shield Appeal.
"We are so grateful for the support we've gotten over many years from the Wests Group."

March Charity of the Month: Salvation Army
The Salvation Army provides essential services, including emergency relief, housing support, and community programs, helping vulnerable people navigate difficult times.
Through the Charity of the Month initiative, the Knights aim to bring attention to these efforts.
Through donations to organisations such as the Salvation Army, the Wests Group and Newcastle Knights continue to strengthen their connection with the local community, demonstrating that their impact extends beyond the field.
Wests Group and Newcastle Knights director, Katie Brassil, said she couldn't be prouder to see this work being carried out.
"The Wests Group is a very proud, passionate member of our local community," Brassil said.
"We love the 'Salvos', because the money they raise in our community, stays in our community."
