Bring hope to the table this Christmas
A small gesture can make a big difference for a family this Christmas.
What is Christmas Box?
Christmas Box supplies food essentials to over two hundred thousand people every year across New Zealand, Australia and the Cook Islands, providing hope to the table, that lasts beyond a treat at Christmas.
This year we aim to pack 20,000 Christmas Boxes for Australia
Right now, Aussie families are facing some really big challenges, and many find themselves struggling to make ends meet. For some, this will mean Christmas won't be a time to celebrate.
This Christmas, give the gift of hope. With just a $40 donation, you have an opportunity to help those who need it most. With Christmas Box, 100% of contributions goes to not only feeding a family but will also provide much-needed hope. Only together, can we bring hope to those in need all across Australia. We can't do it alone.
"I was just worried about how we were going to pay for Christmas. I wanted to make sure that the four children each had presents. Receiving the Christmas Box made me feel very happy and loved, and that someone cared for me and my children”

“I am so thankful for my Christmas Box. I have 6 children. My oldest is 16 and my youngest is 3. I am a single Mum and cannot afford groceries a lot of weeks, let alone the special treats around Christmas time for the children. Receiving this Christmas Box helped so much with feeding my family and the extra treats in there were so special. All of the children were so excited opening it and making plans for all the contents. Thank you so very much for the work and offering such amazing gift.”
— Recipient, Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association
“These Christmas Boxes do more than provide quality food and gifts—they remind people that they are seen, valued, and cared for by their community. For those who may be spending Christmas alone, or for families struggling to make ends meet, receiving a Christmas Box brings hope, dignity, and joy during what can otherwise be an isolating season.
The boxes allow recipients to celebrate Christmas without placing additional strain on already stretched household budgets. They create moments of happiness, connection, and relief, while communicating a powerful message: that there are people who genuinely care about their wellbeing and want them to experience the joy of Christmas.”
