Christmas Appeal 2025 – Serve the City Australia

Making Christmas Brighter: Your Donation Changes Lives

Christmas Appeal 2025 — Giving Hope, Changing Lives

This Christmas, we’re launching our biggest donation drive yet to support people in our community who need it most — including individuals experiencing homelessness, refugees starting again, women and children affected by domestic violence, youth without stable housing, and families facing financial hardship.

We are collecting donations of essential items, gifts, and financial contributions. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us bring comfort, dignity, and hope to someone this Christmas.

Together, we can make sure no one feels forgotten during the holidays.
