Winter Local Appeal

Winter local appeal.

With the colder months upon us, many in our community will face the harsh realities of winter. We need your help bringing comfort to those who need it most in the cold weather.

Support your community

Be part of Uniting's Winter local appeal.

For many of us, the cooler weather signals the need to bring out our winter doonas, turn up the heating or buy a new jacket to stay warm and dry. Sadly, cost-of-living hikes have meant affording these basics is becoming an unachievable goal, and many families are having to choose between electricity or food, medicine or warmth.

You can help bring some much-needed warmth, comfort, and hope to those who need it most this winter by providing new or good quality used blankets, doonas, swags, jackets and other winter woollies.

Your generosity can help keep people warm this winter

Donate a much-needed winter item

Including:

  • blankets
  • new tents
  • backpack swags.

Find out where to drop-off your items.

Make a donation

Local service can purchase the winter items most needed by individuals and families in your local area.

Even the smallest gift can help someone somewhere.
