Treasure Boxes is humbled to have been able to support the process of ensuring our newest South Australian arrivals from Afghanistan have received childcare and toiletry essentials. This has been a huge, coordinated effort from the South Australian community – specifically AMES, The Welcoming Centre and our local Afghanistan community members. As well as packing additional boxes this week, we’re now preparing for when these families leave medi-hotels and on to their new lives in Australia.

2020 brought challenges we had never faced, but despite this we continued forward, ensuring that disadvantaged families didn’t get left behind despite lockdowns, job losses, and restricted access to community services.

We’re working hard to strengthen our services and increase our impact – developing easier ways for services to request our support, and a way to reach communities outside of the metro region.
