FOR the third year in a row, Amazon Australia is assisting the St Vincent de Paul Society to provide another 1000 Australian students with back-to-school essentials for the start of Term 1 in 2023. Items include stationery, lunchboxes and drink bottles.
The collaboration is focused on some of the families the society knows are struggling with household expenses.
As the rapidly rising cost of living drives more people closer to the edge, the generosity of Amazon Australia will help many families.
It’s really pleasing to be helping another 1000 students get what they need to participate and learn.
This campaign has now helped 3000 children around Australia. It’s a great initiative and it’s fantastic that Amazon Australia is maintaining its strong commitment to families doing it tough.
The start of the school year is an important time for every child, and every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. We hope this offers some assistance for parents setting their kids up for a successful 2023.
We are distributing the back-to-school packs direct to families in need via our extensive membership network.
Donations like these allow the St Vincent de Paul Society to provide people in need, specifically children, with practical assistance.
We’re very grateful to Amazon Australia for continuing this campaign for three years.
