The homeless of Queensland, including but not limited to Brisbane; needy  families all over Queensland, domestic violence shelters; refugees,  intensive care units for premature/ill babies, oncology wards of various hospitals, aboriginal outlying communities, nursing homes, animal refuges etc.

Every organisation that we give donations to, is normally not very well known, operated mainly by volunteers with no government funding, such as Student Care Welfare, Brisbane Youth Services, QuIHN (Qld Injectors Health Network), Mama's Rene's "soup" vans, Mater Mothers Hospital, Caboolture Hospital, Drug Arm (Ipswich), various Domestic violence shelters, Sippy Downs Animal Refuge, Innisfail Animal Refuge, Dakabin RSPCA, numerous nursing homes and many more organisations with others contacting us asking for our assistance.


Before we give over any donations we get a promise that each and every item will be given DIRECTLY to someone in need, not sold in shops, markets etc!

We have also participated in 5 Homeless Connect Days, organised by Brisbane City council, in which we give out beanies, blankets, scarves, gloves, toys etc to the homeless directly! There is another coming up later in May, and we hope to beat the record that we set last
year of giving away 1200 donations !! That is a very emotional day.

Have also attended Festival of Hope organised
by Citycare just prior to Christmas, which is for
needy families. We gave away many
knitted/crocheted/sewn items mainly clothing,
but lots of toys, toiletry bags, and some new
jewellery items that had been donated by a
couple of members.
