WHAT IS LOADS OF LOVE?

2019 marked the 10th anniversary of the Loads of Love Appeal. After ten years, the appeal has collected 95,000 kgs of non-perishable food, and thousands of dollars for grocery gift cards. Through large-scale community support and corporate sponsorship the appeal has collected and distributed more than $380,000 of food to more than 4,000 households across Southern Queensland. 

The appeal has become a trusted and way for thousands of Queenslanders to channel their generosity to those that need it most. You’re invited to join the cause and help change someone’s life this Christmas.

ALONE WE CAN DO SO LITTLE BUT TOGETHER WE CAN DO SO MUCH.

THE NEED

Christmas can be one of the toughest times of the year, living expenses increase, families experience increased pressures and many people encounter other circumstances that restrict their capacity to meet the basic needs including food.

MORE THAN FOUR MILLION AUSSIES HAVE EXPERIENCED FOOD INSECURITY IN THE LAST YEAR.

THE IMPACT

The Loads of Love Appeal is focused on supporting the community at Christmas and supports the community through what is proven to be one of the toughest times of the year.

  • Providing thousands of people with real, practical support at Christmas time.
  • Building local community with donated food purchased locally and distributed to locals.
  • The appeal builds community cohesion and brings people together.
