Recipient story

Detainees
GIVIT
First Nations Support
Domestic & Family Violence
Our organisation is preparing for our annual Christmas hamper packing day, bringing warmth, dignity, and hope to people impacted by the justice system. This year, we aim to pack 200 hampers for families, 100 for women, 100 for men, 100 for children, and 50 for pets. We're also urgently seeking new underwear, socks, singlets, and bras, as many detainees in the ACT aren’t given enough basic clothing to stay warm and comfortable.

We also seek regular donations throughout the year to provide detainees with essential items to carry out their sentence with dignity, items like toiletries, stationery, and warm clothing.

All Christmas donations must be received by the week of December 1, 2025. Every contribution brings comfort, connection, and compassion to those often forgotten. Help us show them they’re not alone.
