Help Save this Christmas for those who are struggling
Can you imagine being a child waking up on Christmas morning and not having one single present to unwrap?
Or even something to eat that would make the day feel like Christmas?
Imagine how those parents would feel. Or worse, how that child would feel.
Your donation to our 2024 Christmas Appeal will help Save this Christmas for local community members experiencing financial hardship or homelessness.
Funds raised will ensure South Australians in need can access essential emergency relief, such as food and personal hygiene products, and gifts for children.
Your support will also help fund our annual Christmas Day lunch for people who would otherwise go without a meal or be alone.
