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 Brisbane, Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra, Perth Adelaide. 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.

Hello Bowral! We are excited to let you know that we now have a little red donation bin located in the Flight Centre Australia - Bowral which will allow you to conveniently donate your unused hotel toiletries (sample sizes only) and airline amenity kit that we will then make into care packs and donate to people in need who are homeless, including victims of domestic violence.
Please join us in thanking Lesley, Paula and these 3 lovely ladies from Flight Centre Bowral who have made this happen.
ABOUT: Every Little Bit Helps is a registered charity. Established with the specific purpose of supporting people in need, our belief is that every Australian should have access to a toothbrush and a bar of soap, and that by providing basic toiletries to people in need we are providing them with not only the essentials, but also a little bit of dignity.

👋 Tassy & the Territory it’s time we met! We are an Australian charity, established for 5 years and run 100% by volunteers. Our mission is to support people in need who are homeless, which includes victims of Domestic Violence – this single biggest cause of homelessness in Australia. We do this by providing our clients access to basic hygiene products through our Care Packs with are made up of donate hotel toiletries and airline amenity kits, as well as sanitary items, roll on deodorants and make up and cosmetic samples – which are included in our Lady Care Packs. These items are donated by individuals and businesses as well as by companies who host our little red bins. We are currently operating in QLD, NSW, VIC, SA, WA & ACT. We are looking to expand into TAS & NT.
VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED: We are looking for volunteers who can assist by collecting donations from drop off points, sort donations, create into care packs and distribute to local homeless shelters and women’s refuges. This is a role that would require less than 5 hours per month. If you feel you are in a position to help please send us an PM or email us via [email protected]
Thank you in advance for your support and thank you for remembering - Every Little Bit Helps
How low can we go? We long for a world where people care for each other. Where people support each other, lift each other up. Sadly is seems today is not that day.
We love keeping you updated on everything WE (that’s you and us) have achieved each month. It’s a chance for us to reflect on the month that has passed, and also an opportunity to thank the generous people who have supported us in so many ways.
Pictured is part of the donation we received from Appletree Dentistry who generously donated over 1000 sample sized toothpaste. This will go a long was to helping us reach our targets of our corporate packing day in November, where we will be working with 300 corporate volunteers to create 6000 care packs. To do this we need a massive 120,000 items. You can help by collecting your unused hotel toiletries, airline amenity kits and sending them to us. If you are not travelling, why not tag a mate who is to ensure they are aware just how easy it is to give back to people in need by providing them access to basic hygiene products via our Care Packs.
Over that last month we have made 9 separate donations of almost 1,000 care packs throughout operations in QLD, NSW, VIC, SA, ACT & WA
As we always do, we would like to take this opportunity to thank the many individuals and businesses who choose to support us and ultimately support people in need who are homeless including victims of Domestic Violence;
