Christmas Drive

Every year, Foster Care Angels aim to make Christmas a little brighter for vulnerable young people living in out of home care. Initially, we had supported children and young people living in Residential Care Facilities, however, in 2017, the number of children and young people living in hotels and other crisis accommodation was published and it deeply saddened us. So Christmas 2017, we began our "Christmas Drive", to bring a little Christmas joy to this vulnerable and disadvantaged group.

Christmas is, for most of us, a time of joy, family, gifts, and celebrating. To think that there are so many children where Christmas is literally just another day really got to us. We get Christmas "Wish Lists" from the children, and work hard to fundraise and engage with the community to source donations from the "Wish List", as well as movie passes and vouchers for activities.

Each year, the need grows and we are truly grateful to those who donate and help us play Santa to these disadvantaged children and young people.
