Christmas is the Season of Giving
We're doing well this Christmas, but there are many families who have struggled this year - especially with the pandemic.
St Kilda Mums and The Smith Family are two incredible charities who are working hard to make these holidays a bit easier for families in need. We've decided to support them, and participate in their Christmas drives this year.
St Kilda Mums
We have donated Charlie Crane Levo Rockers to St Kilda Mums for distribution to those who need them most this Christmas.
St Kilda Mums receive requests from Maternal Child Health nurses and social workers on behalf of families in need. They then try to meet or exceed each request with quality new or pre-loved donations.
From the 1st February 2021 St Kilda Mums will be accepting nursery equipment donations by appointment (see their website for details). They accept cots, prams, and car seats, as well as clothes and other baby essentials, which they sort, quality check, and safety check to ensure they meet current Australian Safety Standards.
You can also make a monetary donation to St Kilda Mums at anytime to help families in need - make a donation.

The Smith Family
We have donated fun Londji games and puzzles to The Smith Family Toy & Book Appeal which will be gifted to disadvantaged children this Christmas.
The Smith Family is an independent children's charity helping disadvantaged Australian children to get the most out of their education, so they can create better futures for themselves. Through many different programs they help children in need to fit in at school, keep up with their peers, and build aspirations for a better future for themselves.
There are many ways to support The Smith Family; Sponsor a child, donate toys and books, volunteer your time or make a monetary donation.

Happy Christmas!
If you are in a position to do so and wish to give a little back this year, we highly recommend these two organisations. From our Antipoda Co family to yours, we wish you a happy and healthy holiday season!
