One hundred per cent of all donations received by the Lord mayor's Charitable Foundation are distributed to charities providing care and support to people living in need. In 2009, we distributed $8.9 million to health and welfare charities throughout Melbourne and Victoria.
Tax time puts a chill in many hearts but spare a thought for those in our community facing a more gruelling winter.
Your tax deductible donation will help Melbourne’s health and welfare agencies provide shelter, food, clothing and health care to those who need it most in our community this winter.
Our Heart of Melbourne Appeal is currently underway and is charged with helping Melbourne’s 15,000 homeless people. Tragically, one in every three is a child.
You can help. Every dollar donated to the Appeal goes to the more than 60 agencies in Melbourne who help our homeless. Every dollar goes to putting an end to the bitter cycle of homelessness. Every single dollar helps.
At Christmas, most of us have more than enough food at our celebrations with friends and family. What if we could share some of our Christmas fare with people who need a fair go? ‘Fill a Fridge for Christmas’ is a practical way to help out Melburnians who need a hand.
