Together, our outstanding donors and partner organisations raised more than $49,000 to help save Christmas for individuals, families and children living in the north western suburbs.
Local resident Heather said she was overwhelmed by mounting bills when she first learned of UnitingSA’s emergency relief services.
Cost of living pressures mean that providing ‘extras’ is often out of the question and the additional burdens of the festive season meant additional stress for dad Jason.
With support of the UnitingSA Housing and Financial Stability team, Samantha kept her family together and in the lead up to Christmas they were invited to the Port Adelaide Toy Room.
UnitingSA’s emergency assistance teams are gearing up to support 60 families a day in the lead up to Christmas. That’s three families every 15 minutes.
To ensure our clients are supported over the Christmas and New Year period, many of our services will remain open unless it’s a public holiday.
UnitingSA relies on the generosity of donors to help deliver innovative programs and support for people in need across metropolitan and regional South Australia.
"Because we feel secure with UnitingSA Housing, I don’t have anxiety about where I live anymore."

UnitingSA Housing tenants
