“Salt has kept me positive when I’ve been down, to the point that family members and close friends have been prompted to ask, ‘What’s changed?’ and I get to share my faith.” – Salt 106.5 listener Spencer
Your generosity today will mean more people like Spencer in your Salt 106.5 family can live with hope-filled music and messages – hope brings people together like nothing else can.
“Sometimes I feel like my head is going to explode from everything that comes with being a mum to three kids under five. But then there will be a song or a word or an encouragement from a presenter that just helps put a positive spin on my day and helps to shift my attitude.” – Salt 106.5 listener Heidi
