Give what's needed

Gifts for babies, particularly boys under 2

Many newborns and toddlers in care will face their first Christmas without a gift. Help us bring joy to the youngest in need.

The Christmas 4 Kids in Care program brings the magic of Christmas to children in out-of-home care by providing carefully curated Santa Packs. These packs ensure that vulnerable children, from newborns to 17-year-olds, experience the joy of receiving gifts, even when their circumstances make it difficult. This year, we are aiming to give gifts to 7,020 Victorian children who might otherwise go without, giving them something special to unwrap on Christmas morning.

Newborns and toddlers in care, especially boys under 2, are often overlooked in donation drives. These young children, at a critical stage of development, deserve to feel love, warmth, and comfort during the holiday season. By contributing to this request, youโ€™re helping us ensure that even the littlest ones in care have a magical Christmas, filled with gifts that promote security, joy, and belonging. Your generosity can make a profound impact, showing these children they are not forgotten.
