“It’s hard to make your children’s Christmas wishes come true when you are homeless.”
Kate* sat upright on a borrowed couch in her sister-in-law’s house, her children asleep, one snuggled next to her, the other blanketed on the floor. The clock had struck 2:00 am, and as she looked at her children a wave of anxiety came over her just knowing this was going to be a desperate and lonely Christmas.
No home, no partner, and not even enough money to bring joy in the gift of a toy for her precious children this Christmas.
With Christmas just around the corner, it’s so sad that we see families stressed with the expenses of the season and separation from family and loved ones. We see parents who feel distraught and ashamed that their children will be going without. Feelings of loneliness and isolation are intensified.
Baptist Care SA provides compassionate assistance and practical support to families in need restoring dignity and hope to those who need it most.
When you support a family through Baptist Care SA, you will be helping to provide for families who would otherwise wake up on Christmas morning with little or nothing under the tree.
This Christmas, we invite you to be a part of something incredible. Bring hope to a family just like Kate’s through the Baptist Care SA 2021 Christmas Hope Appeal.
May you have a wonderful and blessed Christmas with your loved ones this year.

There’s no doubt about it, South Australians are having a tough time. Severe overcrowding is on the rise and we’ve seen more people sleeping rough – more than 100 every night in inner city Adelaide.
Last year, Baptist Care SA’s WestCare Emergency Relief Program provided 2500 food parcels to 620 people in SA doing it tough. However, in December 2019, government funding for our Emergency Relief program was halved.
With less funds available to purchase food, the program, which has assisted thousands of people over 10 years with emergency food parcels and financial relief, has been forced to reduce relief days from four to two in 2020.
During times of financial crisis, the struggle to feed yourself and your family is very stressful and distressing.
If you or your group can make a contribution, please drop off items at:
Baptist Care SA Reception, 11-19 Millers Court, Adelaide (off Wright Street) during office hours, 9am – 5pm Monday to Friday.
