Our Programs
A fundamental need for every child to thrive
Clothing is a basic need for every child and for families in crisis providing it can come at the cost of food, rent or medication. Parents have to dress their children before they can think about other essentials. By supplying quality pre-loved clothing, we ease that financial pressure so parents can focus on keeping their children safe, housed and fed.
We work closely with caseworkers and social service agencies to deliver judgement-free support for newborns to children aged five through our boxes. Every box is thoughtfully packed with essentials donated by caring individuals in our community - our village - giving children an equal start in life, and helping families breathe a little easier and move toward a brighter future.
Clothing Boxes
There are an estimated 50,000-60,000 Queensland children aged 0-5 living in poverty, without access to the essential basics they need to thrive.
Clothing Boxes provide families in need with good condition, clean, second-hand essential clothing for their young children. Available for boys and girls, they contain an assortment of summer and winter clothing in sizes ranging from premature (00000) to size 5. Clothing Boxes are packed by volunteers and distributed via caseworkers at health services and social support agencies.
Safe Start Boxes
Each year, around 10,000-12,000 babies in Queensland are born into poverty and disadvantage without access to essential basics for their crucial early weeks.
Safe Start Boxes are a beautifully packaged gift from the community to vulnerable new mothers, easing the stress of not having basic baby essentials. Each box includes everything they need for the first few weeks of life for a new baby. Packed by volunteers, these boxes are distributed through caseworkers at hospitals, health services, and social support agencies.
Natural Disaster Response
When natural disasters strike, more and more families and children are left without access to essential necessities. In these moments of uncertainty and loss, we provide critical supplies to bring comfort, dignity, and stability. We’re able to respond quickly, working with partners on the ground to distribute clothing, nappies, wipes and other essentials to those who need it, fast. Beyond the immediate crisis, we continue to support families as they rebuild. Your donations, essential items, and partnerships make this rapid response possible.
