By partnering with The Salvation Army, we’re helping provide inclusive care to vulnerable children, families, and individuals across Australia — empowering people to feel supported, connected, and hopeful for a brighter future.
For over 140 years, The Salvation Army has walked alongside Australians, supporting those facing hardship, injustice, crisis or isolation. They are steadfast in their mission to help, both now and in the future. The rising cost of living has affected people and families in all communities, causing unprecedented levels of financial and personal stress for millions across the nation.
To support The Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal, we’ve set up a digital door knock on behalf of dollar curtains + blinds. This allows for our community to contribute directly online to help raise funds, if they would like to participate. Click here to donate and help make a difference.
At Koala Conservation Australia, their goal with all koalas they rescue is to treat, rehabilitate, and release them back into the wild. However, in some cases, a rescued koala may be unable to return safely to the wild. Some of these koalas become permanent ‘residents’ of their Hospital, where, with our support, we provide them with a lifetime of compassionate care.
We’re proud to adopt our first Koala, Ocean Drive Nero, who came to the hospital after being found in an incredibly dangerous spot on one of New South Wale’s busiest roads. After months of observation, it was determined that release back to the wild would be very risky for Ocean Drive Nero.
He is now in permanent care at the Koala Conservation Wild Breeding Facility and Visitor Centre!
Ending waste. Ending hunger. Let’s make a positive impact on our community.
SecondBite rescues surplus fresh food and pantry staples from retailers, manufacturers and farmers and redistributes it to those in need. They aim to fight hunger and reduce food waste, creating a more sustainable and equitable society. Join them in transforming lives through food. Together, every bite counts.
As an Australian-owned and family-operated business for more than 50 years, we value these partnerships which allow us to support local communities. Working with SecondBite we hope to continue making a valuable contribution to end hunger and give to people in need for years to come.
Working closely with the Donations In Kind Programme, dollar curtains + blinds has donated fabrics that have been distributed to people in need in countries including East Timor and North Cambodia. The fabrics are made into practical items such as clothing, rice carry bags and sanitary products.
A comprehensive programme featured in Siem Reap in North Cambodia through Rotary International, Opportunities of Development thru Art (ODA) and Days For Girls. Days For Girls is an organisation that focuses on mobilising girls and women through changing the status quo with quality care solutions, health education and income-generated opportunities.
The colourful and informative Days For Girls kits are distributed to students and include long-lasting, easy-to-care health and hygiene items. In conjunction with these kits, an educational session on health and safety is delivered that includes topics such as self-defence. The intention is that the assistance and knowledge accompanying this programme will inform the students all their lives.
Building Angels provides support to those experiencing financial hardship due to misadventure and climate events, and is committed to supporting fire-affected communities.
