Every care pack brings comfort to a family doing everything they can to get by.

Blankets for a mother and newborn sleeping in a car.

Winter clothing for a child whose outgrown their clothes.

Toiletries for a parent trying to stretch every dollar between healthy food, doctors and school costs.

These families are not looking for charity, they’re looking for a little support to get through a tough time.

That’s where Big Group Hug steps in.

Working with 1,500+ health and welfare professionals, we provide essential items that restore dignity, relieve pressure and help children feel cared for.

Last year alone we redistributed 140,000 items to 7,734 babies and children across Melbourne.

But demand is growing fast. We need your help to reach 30,000 babies and children in the next 3 years.
