QUEENSLAND
Help rough sleepers settle into their new homes
A public housing development has just been completed on the Gold Coast, and this community housing organisation urgently needs donations of household essentials before the tenants, many of whom were previously homeless, move in at the end of July.
Items for vulnerable women transitioning back into the community
This organisation supports women transitioning back into the community, who have often experienced complex trauma, and face many barriers reintegrating into society. Donations of public transport cards, grocery vouchers and smartphones are urgently needed.
Essential items for new mums and bubs
Every new mum should be celebrated. Sadly, that isn't always the case. Donations of baby items, nappies, toys and toiletries are needed to for struggling mums in hospital with their newborns.
Gift vouchers for Queenslanders affected by domestic & family violence
The needs of people impacted by and escaping from domestic and family violence are varied and complex. They need many different items, especially if they're starting from scratch without their personal possessions. In these cases, gift vouchers are preferable to items. You can help frontline domestic violence charities provide the people they're helping with the things they need.
