Every Little Bit Helps is a charity. Established in July 2014, we collect, pack and redistribute unwanted hotel toiletries, inflight amenity kits, cosmetic and make-up samples to those in need including the homeless, asylum seekers and victims of domestic violence as well as troubled youths through Women’s Refuge, Homeless Shelters, Youth Centres, Asylum Centres and Community Centres as well as via small Government and Community Groups.
The catalyst for establishing Every Little Bit Helps was learning that while there are many facilities providing laundry and shower facilities, most are able to supply little more than running water and previously did not have regular and reliable access to basic toiletry products.
We have drop-off locations throughout Australia. Find your nearest drop-off location using our Drop Off Locator Tool. Alternatively you can mail your donations to us at PO Box 340, Forestville NSW 2087.
Our organisation is proudly run 100% by volunteers across Australia but like every organisation we need to cover our running costs. These include shipping and distribution of our kits to the people we support, annual insurance and the bags we pack our kits in to. We appreciate any offers of financial support.

We are all one team: Team Australia. To our friends in Melbourne, thank you for making the sacrifices you are being asked to make to keep us all safe and well.
A lovely memory of our time spent with ABC News 3 years ago. While we are not doing public packing days right now due to Covid-19, the work we do hasn't stopped. Thank you, as always, to everyone who supports us in so many ways.
Frightening statistics revealing 1:7 Australians are currently struggling to meet their rent or mortgage payments during this current Covid-19 crisis with a staggering 44% of people aged between 18 – 24 say they currently can not meet their rent.
Too many Australian are having to make difficult choices every day between food, rent and personal hygiene products.
Homelessness is increasing and so is the need for your support.
Thank you for remember - Every Little Bit Helps
