Thank you to all who generously donated Care Packs during our Christmas initiative!

Across our locations and partners we were able to collect:

  • 511 Men’s hygiene packs
  • 193 Women’s hygiene packs

We collected an additional:

  • 20 Hospital Helper packs from City on a Hill West
  • 32 Foundation 61 Hygiene packs from City on a Hill Geelong
  • 3 Welcome Home Packs from City on a Hill Brisbane

That’s a total of 759 Care packs collected!*

We loved seeing photos of ‘Packing Parties’ popping up!

 

Since our collection, we have distributed 420 Care packs across our services and partners!

Many rooms brisbane’s ‘Welcome home’ pack

We are also excited for the launch of a new Care Pack for Many Rooms Brisbane. In partnership with Micah Projects, they have designed a Care Pack that aims to help those in need who have been recently housed to settle in. The pack contains pantry and household necessities to make one’s transition into a home, a smooth one.

*Please note there was a mistake in our January Newsletter. Instead of a total collection of 1063 care packs, the actual total is 1043 which is inclusive of existing care packs already in our possession.
