A little Christmas joy can give a lot of hope

Donate today and help UnitingCare purchase food, gifts, and other basic essentials to bring joy and hope to people experiencing hardship.

After another really tough year, your gift is a reminder that there are people out there who care and are ready to support them as they keep working towards a better future.

These stories tell of the hope and joy that compassionate people like you helped bring to many families last Christmas

You helped put food on the table for families in financial distress

It means so much to myself and my two kids to have people that want to help and support all of us. The last few years have been getting so hard to keep up.

To put presents and food on the table and to see my kids’ faces light up in joy is the most valuable caring thing for us all.

We really appreciate all you do.

You helped make Christmas a time to celebrate for someone who was dreading it

Oh my goodness, words can never be enough.

You have made my children’s Christmas literally. Thank you so very much. You have taken me off the poverty line. The Christmas hamper is amazing, we will be thinking of you over our Christmas table lunch.

Truly no words will ever be able to express my gratitude. So many thank-yous to all involved.

– Mum of five kids

You helped put food on the table for families in financial distress

This means the world to us. The presents mean my son has a present this Christmas and the hamper means we always have something to eat when the food boxes stop over Christmas.

The voucher also means I’m not worrying about how to pay for nappies and essentials and leaves money for petrol.

The UnitingCare case workers have been a god send to myself and son. They are welcoming – and there when I needed someone. They are sometimes the only adult interaction I have all week.

– Single mum escaping domestic violence

You spared a parent the heartache of telling their child that Santa might not be able to visit this year

Look Mum! Santa hasn't forgotten me! He even came early!!

By giving today you’ll be joining like-minded people across Queensland who are determined to spread joy and hope this Christmas.
