HOPE HAMPERS

Giving hope to Christmas

Our Hope Hampers program supports individuals and families across the Sunshine Coast who are experiencing food insecurity and financial hardship during the Christmas season.

Each hamper is lovingly packed by our dedicated team of volunteers and includes Christmas treats, pantry staples, decorations and gifts for both adults and children.

In line with our commitment to dignity and empowerment, parents are invited to choose gifts for their children that reflect their unique needs and interests. This ensures every family experiences a Christmas that feels personal and meaningful.

Recipients regularly tell us they would not have been able to celebrate Christmas without their Hope Hamper.

Hope Hampers will be back in 2026, so please get in touch if you’d like to partner with us to help ensure no family misses out on Christmas.

Impact Stories

Record breaking Christmas campaign makes big impact

Nambour-based charity The Everyday Foundation’s record-breaking Hope Hampers campaign brightened Christmas for locals doing it tough. 

Thanks to the generosity of the Sunshine Coast community, more than $80,000 was raised which allowed the Foundation to provide over 600 hampers. 

The festive hampers were loaded with Christmas treats, pantry staples, presents and decorations which helped ease the burden on local families and individuals struggling with food insecurity and financial strain. 

General manager Karen Gullo said the increased need for food relief over the holiday season was likely to continue into the new year with cost-of-living pressures hitting locals hard. 

“There was a 30 per cent increase in nominations for Christmas hampers compared to the previous year,” Karen said.
