Did you know that we put a towel in every single suitcase we send out? That's a lot of towels!
We are almost out of towels at the moment.

Spotlight have a sale for VIP members, some towels as low as $2.50 and matching face washers just $1.

If you are able to donate one for us that would be amazing.

If you would like to order online please message us for the delivery address.

Thank you!

For those who are wanting to know what we are needing at the moment, here is a small list. Please do not purchase any clothing except what is on the list as we have all we need in other items for now.

If you are an online shopper and would like your order delivered to us directly, please send us a message for our postal address.

Thank you to you all for helping us ensure these precious children and teenagers are given something that shows them they are loved.

Our amazing volunteers have been busy sorting donations and packing bags today.

We are out of night lights which are a very important item that goes into every single bag we pack, this helps the children and even teenagers, feel safer in a strange place at night.

Kmart has some for $7 and there are also other places like Big W and Bunnings that have practical and cute ones.

If you are in a position to be able to purchase some we would really appreciate it!

Kmart have books reduced down very cheap. They are hidden at the ends of the book aisles. If anyone is able to donate a couple that would be fantastic for our older kids and teens.
