Let our community know why they should support our local charity by sharing how your life has been positively impacted by our charities support.
Donate your unwanted clothing and household goods which will be turned into practical help and hope, for people in need locally and globally.
Creating connection through meaningful work opportunities.
People from all backgrounds come together to find purpose.
Any amount you donate is a huge help in keeping our charity operating and provides funds to help more local people with services they need.
Pray For
Us
Pray that we can reach the people in our community who need our help and that we can continue providing services that are needed.
Our Mission
Our charity mission (and yes… we chose to accept it) over the next 5 years is to see 1000 lives positively changed and impacted through the help our charity provides in our local community.
For over 20 years, we’ve been providing affordable food, clothing and household items to locals in need, along with free food hampers or gift vouchers to those needing emergency assistance. At times our charity has coordinated emergency appeals and we now provide support to schools, aged care facilities & provide help during bushfires & floods.
We regularly hear stories from people on how our charity has helped them during a rough patch in life, and it is these stories that motivate us to keep working hard, to keep providing affordable and free services to our community, to continue collecting donations with our free pick up service.
Charity services are essential for so many people!
So with their permission, we are collating the stories of many wonderful people whose lives have been positively changed through our charity. We want to community to see who they are helping when they donate, and why it is so important to help local charities like Church 4 Life Charities.
