Make a donation and support the Canberra community
Will you help us help those in need? We work hard throughout the year to help the local community through our community food pantries, clothing program and op shop, crisis support and accommodation support service. When you make a donation to us, you become a part of the social impact we create. (And as a registered charity, your donation is tax deductible!).
Our community support services (social programs) help those in need by providing support for food, clothing, accommodation, and emergency relief. Every year, we help almost 15,000 vulnerable people who come to our community food pantries to access food, household and personal care items.
You can help us in this mission in several ways:
Help those struggling this winter
Hundreds of Canberrans are experiencing hardship as the winter gets colder. They don’t have access to warm clothing, heating, warm homes or food, or opportunities to finish their education. We can’t change how people got into hardship, but we can help make things better for them. You can help too by making a tax-deductible monetary donation. As Communities at Work don’t get ongoing government funding, we rely on the support of individuals, businesses and organisations in our local community.
Make a monetary donation
Your monetary donations will be used to stock our community pantries with food and essential items, to help the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in our community. Your donations will also help our support services for clothing and accommodation. We may also use your donations to provide emergency relief to an individual or family in need.
