Why donate to families in need?
Across Australia, many families are struggling to afford basic necessities like food, housing, and school supplies. Financial hardship can strike for many reasons—job loss, unexpected medical expenses, or rising living costs. Without support, these families face uncertainty, stress, and the risk of falling further into crisis.
By donating to Uniting, you can provide stability and hope to families in need. Your generosity ensures that struggling parents can put food on the table,
keep a roof over their children’s heads, and access vital services that help them build a brighter future.
How your donation makes a difference
For low-income families, even small financial setbacks can have devastating consequences. Rising rent, utility bills, and grocery prices make it increasingly difficult to cover basic living expenses. Children in these households often go without essentials like warm clothing, nutritious meals, and school supplies, making it harder for them to thrive.
Donations play an important role in bridging this gap. They provide immediate relief to families in crisis and fund long-term support services that help them
regain stability. Your contribution changes lives, giving families the chance to overcome hardship and work towards a more secure future.
