Carinity Christmas Appeal 2024

Help us support vulnerable people in the community this Christmas

While Christmas can be a season of celebration and giving thanks for your own blessings, unfortunately it’s a time when far too many Queenslanders still yearn for things that most of us take for granted – good health, a safe bed to sleep in, food in your belly and freedom from violence.

Thanks to the generosity of supporters in our 2023 Christmas Appeal, we were able to provide much needed relief to countless people in the community who were struggling by gifting emergency food hampers, school supplies and fuel vouchers.

We provided craft materials and sensory toys to help children impacted by trauma with their counselling sessions, purchased accessible resources for our disability hubs, and brightened the lives of youths in out-of-home care by providing recreation opportunities they wouldn’t otherwise receive.

If you are in a position to donate this Christmas, we would be so grateful for your gift. Even the smallest donation can make a real difference to those who need it most.

We hope you can support the Carinity Christmas Appeal by using the donation form below or by phoning (07) 3550 3737.
