Generosity and Compassion...Paying it Forward

'I started to cry in my driveway. After looking at the lovely hamper items I cried even more . Christmas is always a hard time for us . This will be the eighth year my son will be in jail and never had a Christmas with his son. Thank you to all the kind people who contributed . ' (Grandma taking care of her Grandson)

This year for Christmas with the extraordinary generosity of Good360 and donors Icare packed over 200 Christmas hampers with food and presents like umbrellas, water bottles, Christmas paper, LEGO, notebooks. We would not be able to do this if it was not for Good360.

iCare is an initiative which has been running for 8 years, we are not funded and rely totally on donations. Located in one of the lowest socio economic areas on the mid north coast with a very high indigenous population. Each week we give away food and whatever else we have to a very wide range of people and families.

People like this single father...
'Last Christmas I had nothing, no food and no presents and no one. This Christmas I had food, and even presents and wrapping paper to wrap them up ...and family. I can’t thank you enough and express what this means to me and my family thank you.'

We also packed 100 'pay it forward' bags because so many don’t have presents to give and they contained hats and some jewellery for them to give away. There has been a huge increase in homeless families and individuals it was such a joy to give presents and also wrapping paper ...wow!

So many cried and were super thankful, one little girl just hugged the hamper, one lady took her hamper to her sisters and just unpacked it again in absolute joy and excitement.

We would not be able to touch so many lives if it was not for Good360 and the amazing products to bring so much joy and hope to so many.

Thank you!
