For over 16 years, the annual KCCS project has implemented a whole of community approach to ensure everyone in Knox City has some festive food, and every parent/carer has a gift for their child(ren), to celebrate the Christmas season.
What We Delivered Together
Every community member received a festive food hamper, along with:
- A meat voucher
- Fresh fruit and vegetables
- Pet food
- Toiletries
- Access to a dignified shopping experience where guests selected additional food items, toys, and gifts for their children
2025 Impact Snapshot
- 320 Christmas Hampers distributed
- 1780+ children's toys and gifts provided
- $8950 in butcher vouchers
- 256 gift vouchers valued at $2950
- 600kg of fruit, vegetables, bread and cakes
- 500kg of non-persihable items selected by guests in addition to their main hamper.
While these numbers are impressive, they represent far more than statistics - they reflect real stories of hope, relief, and joy for families in need across Knox.
