Why donating a gift for a good cause is more important than ever
Millions of people around Australia are living in poverty. The cost-of-living crisis means more families and individuals are struggling to make ends meet. New research by Real Insurance in 2024 demonstrated that 2 in 5 Australians are experiencing moderate to extreme struggle affording expenses.
From families struggling to put food on the table to a mum and her kids escaping violence and living in a women’s shelter – you can be the reason a person smiles. Be the reason a family finally has a place to call home after years of hardship. Or be the reason kids living in foster care get a special gift to brighten their day. While it’s easy to focus on receiving, giving is even better.

Messages of thanks
"...GIVIT changed my and my child's world today (in a way that the words 'saved us' would not be an exaggeration).
I don't have words for how grateful I am, but I feel unimaginable relief at a time I was genuinely starting to fear what would become of us."
Emily* who received vouchers for groceries, medication and furniture after being affected by floods.
"I just want to thank you... so so much for the laptop and mouse I received today.
I had to hold back the biggest flood of tears. Technology, computers, devices and the internet are what set me free on even the worst days. Now I'm unstoppable! Thank you!"
Jen*, a woman with a disability and in financial hardship who received a laptop.
"There was such genuine relief and gratitude from the family to have one less worry.
These experiences also impact positively on [social and housing] workers. Improved outcomes, improved work satisfaction, improved wellbeing, hope!"
Tilly* who uses GIVIT in her role at a homeless organisation, after providing a family with back-to-school items for their children.
