While we may covet the latest gadget or new item of clothing for Christmas, we should ask ourselves, do we really need it? Even a few dollars can help people much more in need this Christmas.

Mission Australia helps families and individuals who have nowhere left to turn. Things that we take for granted such as phoning friends, feeding our animals and being able to put food on the table, are out of reach to many homeless Australians.

$5 can feed a homeless person’s dog
$10 can allow a homeless person to phone home
$30 can give a present to a homeless child

So before you splurge on something that will be next year’s trash, consider those less fortunate this Christmas, visit Mission Australia
