The hampers included more than 4,400 food items such as cereal, long-life milk, pasta, rice, tinned goods, and pancake mix. Volunteers added thoughtful extras including teddy bears, chocolate treats, and handwritten notes. The backpacks were also packed with winter essentials such as hats, scarves, socks, and toiletry kits, offering comfort during the colder months.

Our community of customers, partners, and employees came together to pack these supplies with care and enthusiasm. The items were distributed by frontline staff at Mission House and Anglicare Victoria’s Fitzroy Homeless Support Services.

In addition to the physical donations, attendees raised $3,170. Blue Connections IT proudly matched this amount, bringing the total to $6,340. These funds directly support Anglicare Victoria’s emergency relief efforts, helping provide fresh food, grocery and petrol vouchers, and other vital supplies across its 16 sites.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Dell Technologies for their outstanding partnership, and to Schneider Electric, Dicker Data, Ingram Micro, Arid Zone, Thread Together, and Bigger than Texas. Their generous contributions played a vital role in the success of the day.

At Blue Connections IT, we are proud of the collective effort to help take hunger off the table and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most.
