For many Rural and Remote Australians, hope is scarce, depression is a part of everyday life and suicide is not uncommon. Since the early 1990’s Care Outreach has expanded to the extent that today there are volunteer teams undertaking year round visits, giving hands-on assistance and facilitating Community Events.
Care Outreach offers a helping hand to Queensland & NSW farmers who are suffering from the effects of severe drought. As the drought continues farmers continue to struggle financially with the increased costs of ensuring water and feed is available to keep their stock alive.
Christmas for the Bush is the major annual event of Care Outreach and as part of this we provide gifts, hampers and finacial assistance to families to support them at this often emotionally hard time of year.
Due to the size of this campaign, we collect year round for CFTB.
We provide regular face to face visitation and ministry, assist with property support (fencing, mustering, livestock etc), offer domestic help and faciliate community events in rural and regional parts of Australia.
Financial – Care Outreach receives no Government Funding, relying on the generous donations of Businesses, Churches, Community groups and individuals.
Donations over $2 are Tax Deductible
Physical Donations – Non-perishable food items are our greatest need. We welcome large and bulk (pallet) donations from businesses and companies (this may be tax deductible).
Field Volunteers – We are always looking out for volunteers to help with our visitation and pastoral care projects. If you have a heart for outback families, are good at listening and care about the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of people, please get in contact.
Warehouse Volunteers – We have need of volunteer assistance year round to work in our warhouse, located on the Sunshine Coast sorting stock, working on our second-hand shop and much more.
There are number of ways people can assist with our fundraising efforts throughout the years from purchasing the Australian and New Zealand Entertainment Books, our Containers for Change program or running a specific CrowdRaiser campaign. Contact us to find out more information on how you help.
To all the dear folk at Care Outreach who work so very hard to take great care of the needs of we in the bush, you bless us in so many ways. Not just the necessities but countless goodies that we would not have otherwise. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for those who bear the distance, the heat, dust and rough roads, the multitude of those who pray, and to those generous souls who contribute.
I want to thank you all very much for the very lovely package of goodies we had delivered. Someone has gone to much trouble to make a very lovely patchwork knee rug, this I know take much time. Also loved the covered coathanger and skincare products. Care Outreach have been constant through all the dry seasons. Under duress, you fellows are a bright light. Many, many thanks again for your continuing thoughtfulness.
Your supporters, volunteers and the “team awesome” have given us hope once more. Your visits and smiles bring a message of hope and love. To be told we are not forgotten brings life and strength to our family. Care Outreach has supported our isolated family for many years and with your visits and gifts, our lives have certainly been touched by your love. We have the motivation to continue to fight the drought knowing we have your support. The gifts given are filled with thought, time and love and we cannot say thank you enough.
Thank you for supporting our Aussie Farmers! Every bit counts and we couldn’t do it without our army of faithful volunteers and the generosity of our community.
