News Update
Each year SA Quilters choose a South Australian women’s and children’s charity to support. In 2023 we have chosen to support Treasure Boxes.
Contributions should be delivered at the SA Quilters December meeting.
When poverty, homelessness and domestic violence create an uncertain, sometimes dangerous home environment, many South Australian families struggle to provide their kids with the essentials of life; bedding, clothes, toys, even regular meals.
From this troubling reality, Treasure Boxes came to be – a team of caring, like-minded people, dedicated to preventing hardship and trauma by providing kids in need with critical items many of us take for granted.
Treasure Boxes web site is https://treasureboxes.org.au/
Our generous SA Quilters members always rise to the task of helping others. This year goods will be thankfully received at the SA Quilters December meeting.
Treasure Boxes would also be very grateful if members made carry bags which would hold the goods given to people in need.

Listed below are some of the goods currently needed to support women and children in need. You can find a full list on the Treasure Boxes donate page at https://treasureboxes.org.au/donate-goods/
