Christmas Appeal meets increased demand

Thank you to everyone who donated generously to UnitingSA’s 2022 Christmas Appeal.

This year, the campaign raised a record $48,000 in financial donations, ensuring we were able to meet the significant rise in demand for our Emergency Relief services.

UnitingSA was able to put a meal on the table and gifts under the tree for nearly 1,000 people at Christmas, as cost of living pressures saw more people present to UnitingSA for financial support than ever before.

We were grateful to see many new donors join with those who continue to give generously every year. In 2022, we tripled our number of financial donors, from 53 in 2021 to 165, and our financial donations soared by 65 per cent.

More than 2,700 donations of food and toys were also received.
