The colourful backpacks made by Backpacks 4 Vic Kids are filled with love, and are a lifeline to children in need. Often delivered within 24-48 hours of displacement, these packs contain essential items like clothes and toiletries, as well as comforting extras like a torch, teddy bear and blanket. For a child in crisis, the packs restore dignity, ease anxiety, and show them that somebody cares.
Here's why they need your help: there are currently 11,000 Victorian children in out-of-home care, and that number is expected to rise to 26,000 by 2026. They need funds to continue delivering the life-changing support they provide to children.
Every dollar makes a difference. With your help, we can bring comfort and joy to even more Victorian children.
Often children are placed quickly into foster care or emergency accommodation without much more than what they are wearing at the time. We provide them with a few essential items to ease feelings of loss and to help with their relocation.
