Gifts For Families.
Your generous gift will bring joy to a child or young person this Christmas who otherwise may have nothing under their tree. Every child deserves a happy Christmas, and we need your help to make sure children in our communities don’t miss out.

Support local
Be part of Uniting's Gifts For Families Appeal in Barwon.
Tens of thousands of Australian families are currently facing poverty, homelessness and economic disadvantage, so we anticipate the need for Christmas support will be greater than previous years.
Last year we were overwhelmed with requests for assistance. It is our goal to assist every family in need so that no child will go without a gift this Christmas.
There are many ways you can support local families in need.
Help us make sure there are gifts under every Christmas tree this year.
