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 in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Newcastle, ACT and Sydney or alternatively you can mail your donations to us at PO Box 340, Forestville NSW 2087.
Our organisation is proudly run 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.

Dear RED HEARTERS. It is with extreme sadness and anger that we ask you to share a ❤ for another woman killed in Australia in 2018.
24-year-old Toyah Cordingley was murdered while walking her dog at Wangetti Beach, Queensland. Police are hunting for Toyah's killer.
Toyah is the 65th woman killed in Australia this year. 18 children have also lost their lives since January 1, 2018.
The RED HEART Campaign asks all Australians to commemorate all women and children lost to murder, manslaughter or extreme neglect by sharing a ❤️.
If you, or someone you know, is in danger please call 000, 1800respect or PM The RED HEART Campaign page.

There is always a tremendous sense of achievement when you spend the day volunteering and ultimately creating 450 care packs and 288 Lady Care packs for people in need who are homeless.
Today we were joined by 30 volunteers who helped us to sort and pack your donated hotel toiletries, airline amenity kits, sanitary items, as well as make up and cosmetic samples.
As you may already read, we were recently announced as a recipient of a #WestpacFoundation Community Grant and today we had our Westpac Ambassador Brooke Meehan with us to officially present a cheque from the Westpac Foundation for $10,000. This grant is already allowing us to make a difference to the lives of people in need and we would like to take this opportunity to again thank Brooke for her nomination and continued support of Every Little Bit Helps as well as the Westpac Foundation for their support.
Today we were also able to distribute a massive 700 care pack to Dignity to be handed out to the homeless as part of their services.
Of course, none of this could ever be possible without the generous support we receive, and as we always do, we would like to take this opportunity to thank the following for their support;
