This community project was founded to provide support to those in need within the North Brisbane community. With various other community projects providing hot meals and food, we found a significant need for the provision of essential toiletries; Carry Ons was born! Carry Ons aims to coordinate, compile and distribute donations of items to those in need. Essential toiletry items are donated by ind
ividuals, businesses, families and friends and then collated into a waterproof bag to withstand the unfortunate and harsh environment that these people live in. We aim to provide these essentials to promote a sense of well being of those in need, to help them to carry on another day. Donations are distributed by the Carry Ons team via:
- The Hand in Hand Community Project (supplies weekly food packages to families in need)
- Manna from Heaven (supplies hot meals to the homeless in the community)
*** The distribution centres will continue to grow and reach more people in need as our project continues to develop
