Start a food or gift drive

Help battlers make ends meet

Join us in the fight against poverty by donating food and gifts for those less fortunate. You can do it on your own or start a collection in your workplace, school or community group.

Food donations can include non-perishable pantry items, while gifts might be personal hygiene products. It's worth noting that all items must be new, unopened and within their best before date.

Do you have any tips for other communities who are interested in hosting a Food and Gift Drive?

I really believe this could become a much bigger initiative across Sydney.  It has 2 significant benefits.  It brings Neighbours together as a Community.  Many neighbours rarely come together as a community for a common cause.

And what a great time to do it In the Spirit of Christmas and Giving.  In addition and most importantly we are assisting people who are doing it tough.
