Our Programs
A fundamental need for every child to thrive
Clothing is a basic need for every child, and for families doing it tough, 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 bundles and boxes. Every bundle and 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 Bundles
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 Bundles provide families doing it tough 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 Bundles 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 without access to essential basics for their crucial early weeks.
Safe Start Boxes are a beautifully packaged gift from the community to new mothers doing it tough, given with dignity to ease 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, families and children are often left without access to essential items. In these moments of uncertainty and loss, we provide critical supplies to bring comfort, dignity and stability, working in collaboration with other charities responding. 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 response, we continue to support families as they rebuild. Your donations, essential items and partnerships make this possible.
