2026 Christmas Hamper Appeal
Help us fill 40 Christmas Hampers for young people - A Little Christmas Cheer!
Christmas should be a time of joy, connection and giving. But for some young people and families, it can also be a time of added pressure and worry.
Each year, SCYS puts together Christmas Hampers filled with everyday essentials, family favourites and a few festive treats. For a young person, taking a hamper home can mean more than receiving something themselves — it gives them the chance to bring something special home to their family too.
This year, we’re hoping to raise $4,000 towards our Christmas Hampers, helping us fill around 40 hampers for young people and families connected with SCYS.
Every contribution, big or small, helps us add a little more comfort, kindness and Christmas cheer.
Make a Donation
Your donation will help us purchase the food, essentials and festive extras needed to fill our hampers.
Donate Goods
Prefer to donate items? We’d love your help filling our hampers with useful everyday items and a few Christmas treats.
Some ideas include:
- Pantry staples and easy meals
- Breakfast foods and snacks
- Toiletries and household essentials
- Christmas treats
- Gift cards or small gifts
Please contact the SCYS Team if you would like more information about donating goods.
Run a Christmas Collection
Businesses, workplaces, community groups, schools and individuals are also welcome to organise their own collection for the appeal.
We’ve created a Christmas Hamper Appeal collection poster that can be personalised with what you’re collecting and your final collection date.
Contact the SCYS Team and we can help you get started.
Together we can make a difference
Whether you give $5, donate goods or organise a collection with your workplace, every contribution becomes part of something much bigger.
Thank you for helping us make Christmas a little brighter for young people and their families.
