Experience the true meaning of Christmas by giving back to your community.
As Christmas comes around, we know it is a time for generosity, love and kindness and we want to share this with our friends, family and community who are struggling. Christmas should be a special and magical time for families, but for many living in poverty it's just another time they go without. With the rising cost of living and interest rates many parents who are going through a tough time struggle to purchase food for their Christmas table or gifts for their children. You can help us share the spirit of Christmas and bring smiles to the faces of many disadvantaged children, who might otherwise receive no presents at all this year.
BRING JOY TO OTHERS
Every year we partner with local businesses, community organisations, churches, schools and community members to run a food and toy drive for Christmas. Our Gift of Christmas Campaign begins in early October each year and aims to spread the spirit of joy and love by generously blessing families who are doing it tough with the gift of Christmas for them and their loved ones.
