Community giving is more than charity. It allows us to contribute to the common good through building ongoing relationships with external organisations that work with those experiencing disadvantage or marginalisation.
Each year, ACU Engagement and Campus Ministry conduct five national community giving drives in partnership with external community organisations that assist people experiencing marginalisation or disadvantage. These drives invite staff and students to donate various goods, as identified by our community partners, to meet authentic community needs.
Welcome new students to ACU by donating homewares to help them furnish their homes.
Share some warmth by donating winter clothing and accessories to people experiencing disadvantage.
Support the health and wellbeing of people experiencing homelessness or displacement by donating personal hygiene products.
Empower people experiencing disadvantage to achieve economic independence by donating professional attire and accessories.
Spread some Christmas cheer by donating food and gifts for people experiencing disadvantage.
