Uniting to help people in need

Your generosity transforms lives.

Across Victoria and Tasmania, families are facing tough times. Young people are living in their cars. Parents are choosing between rent and groceries. Mental health struggles are going unseen. But with your support, that can change.

At Uniting, your donation doesn’t sit still. It goes straight to work, offering food, shelter, support, dignity, and hope. When you give, you stand beside someone in need. You remind them they’re not alone. Whether you’re hosting a fundraising event on behalf of Uniting, or providing financial support, you’re helping to create safer, fairer, and more connected communities—one gift at a time.

Ways to give

However you choose to give, you’ll be joining a movement of people who care. Whether you donate once, give monthly, leave a legacy, or host a fundraiser, your contribution helps shape brighter futures.

Make a one-off donation

Give now to make an immediate impact. Our secure online donation platform makes it easy to help someone in need today. Every dollar you donate provides essentials like meals, crisis care, mental health services, or a safe place to sleep. Your kindness today can change someone’s tomorrow.
