This week we were able to collate and deliver 72 food boxes to local foster families through CAFS Ballarat... to make this Easter a special time for these wonderfully caring people.
​
This was all made possible by local Ballarat Samaritan Jake Warren who raised $4,000 to shave off his impressive beard.

Jake even helped us pack the boxes today! Also a big thank you to Woolies Stockland who assisted with getting access to the necessities and some choccy treats too.

We have once again supported the Eureka Mums group with their #toolsforschool campaign. With our assistance, students can start the school year with the essentials! New backpacks, lunch boxes, drink bottles and school stationary.

​We plan to support this every January.


Not all kids look forward to the school year returning because they don't have new shoes or a new school bag or stationery - we are pleased to be able to provide these items to the kids in need.

Ballarat’s foster families will this year experience the true meaning of Christmas spirit.
  
The SJD Foundation, in conjunction with Child and Family Services Ballarat, have organised the production of 70 Christmas hampers for local foster families as a thanks for their immense contribution to the community.

SJD Foundation director Brayden Dorney said the initiative has received a huge contribution from local businesses.

“Usually each Christmas we try and focus on the children and give them something to look forward to,” Mr Dorney said.

“We thought this year that we would mix it up, include something different and give something back to the foster families, because they’ve given so much to the children that they’ve taken in out of the goodness of their heart.
