Help bring comfort, care, and connection to those who will be sleeping rough this Christmas
Christmas 2025
GIVIT
As the holiday season nears, many celebrate with loved ones but for those experiencing homelessness, Christmas often passes quietly, without comfort or companionship, and with the added challenge of extreme summer heat. While most enjoy family and festive cheer, those sleeping rough face dangerous temperatures, deep isolation & service shutdowns that make the season even harder
This year our team will visit known rough sleeper sites to deliver essentials, cold refreshments, and small gifts to help people stay safe, hydrated, and connected. For many, these will be the only gestures of care they receive.
We urgently need sunscreen, sun hats, cooling towels, refillable water bottles, deodorant, wet wipes, SPF lip balm, lightweight clothing, power banks, portable fans, socks, sturdy bags, and small festive treats. Please send donations by early December so we can distribute everything before Christmas Eve. Every contribution helps someone feel remembered and supported ❤️
