Give the gift of joy this Christmas

This Christmas will be like no other for the children and families that we work with. 

To help create special memories,  we need your help to provide Christmas gifts and extra support to children, families and community members in need at this often difficult time of year.

Last year, our donors helped to provide gifts to more than 2,500 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people in care and in our programs.

This year, the need is even greater and we cannot do it without your help.

Make a donation

You can make a donation so Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in our programs receive a gift, and families and Elders are supported with food, household essentials and groceries.

Every donation helps - $25 can help fund a Christmas present for a child in Care or in our programs.

Donations of $2 or more are tax deductible - a receipt will be automatically emailed to you.

Register to Fundraise

You can register your workplace, school, group or place of worship to raise funds for VACCA’s Christmas Appeal. 

You'll receive an online fundraising host pack with resources and activities to share with your group to help you raise funds and stay close to culture over the holiday season.

How you can help

With Christmas fast approaching, we are accepting donations using credit card or PayPal on our GiveEasy platform.

Alternative payment methods can be arranged by contacting supportus@vacca.org or 03 9287 8800.
