We know how much our community loves giving to children at Christmas, this year we're asking you to look beyond Christmas Day.
Packs of Love are filled with practical, everyday essentials that children need for the summer holidays and the year ahead.
PLEASE NOTE - Giving just one or two of these much needed
children's items is a wonderful contribution.
It is not essential to do the whole bag.

Packs of Love are created for boys and girls aged 2–14 years.
Choose the age you'd like to shop for or collect a variety of items if you're organising a larger community, school or workplace collection.
We are asking for new items for Packs of Love.
We're looking for:
Please avoid Christmas themed items, we want children to be able to use everything in their Pack of Love throughout the year.
Don't worry if you can't provide everything on the list. Individual items are very welcome and will help us complete other Packs of Love.
If you have any pre-loved items, you can donate these also through our regular donation drop points please check Where to Donate for more information.
If you've completed a full backpack, please attach a tag to the outside clearly showing the age and gender of the child you've packed it for.
A simple paper or cardstock tag is perfect, just make sure it's securely attached.
Completed backpacks and individual Packs of Love items can be delivered to participating Tassie Mums collection points around Tasmania visit Where to Donate for more information.
