“Sugar & Spice” Helping Refugees & Homeless

You may have read in The Age, October 10th 2007, about an initiative by one of our volunteers, Julette Alexander, to collect toiletries for Melbourne’s Refugee and Homeless populations.  We don’t think about it much, but when money is tight and you have to make a choice between feeding your family or wearing deodorant, people put their families first.  The impact on self-esteem and the ability to present well in a job interview is obvious.

 

So, if you want to donate your collected hotel & airline toiletries, email us by clicking   

Fort Knox has provided a large storage space free-of-charge for the Darfur community to store donated items for families as they arrive.  Please support companies that support us.
Text Box: Apology to Australia’s Indigenous Communities Jewish Aid Australia supports the Australian Government’s apology to the indigenous communities of Australia.  As members of a community that has also suffered abuse, neglect and murder as policy instruments of government, we empathise with the mixed feelings that this day brings to Australia’s indigenous communities.  We therefore call on the Australian Government to also consider providing avenues for compensation, so that all Australians can feel the injustices of the past are truly behind them.
