What We Do
Time, energy and empathy is sometimes all it takes to make a difference
At It’s the Little Things Community, our meals are more than just nourishment—they are a symbol of care, dignity, and human connection. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared in a home-style manner, using fresh, wholesome ingredients and guided by compassion. We craft every meal with the goal of bringing comfort, warmth, and a sense of normalcy to those experiencing hardship.
Whether it’s a hearty casserole for a family seeking refuge from domestic violence, a nutritious lunch for someone experiencing homelessness, or a lovingly packed dinner for a child in hospital care, our meals reflect the kindness of the volunteers, schools, and businesses who come together to make them possible.
Every plate we serve is a quiet but powerful reminder: you are seen, you are valued, and your community cares
Our Meals
Throughout the year, we strive to bring joy and dignity to those doing it tough by making special occasions—like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Easter, and Christmas—feel truly meaningful. From lovingly prepared three-course Christmas meals and thoughtfully packed hampers, to beautiful Mother’s Day treat boxes, we ensure no one misses out on the celebration they deserve.
For many families, special events can be a time of financial stress rather than joy. In fact, research by the Salvation Army revealed that 8.1 million Australians were worried about how they would afford Christmas. That number is deeply concerning—and it's one we are determined to help reduce.
By delivering kindness during these key moments, we remind individuals and families that they are not alone, and that their community is here for them
Special Events
Through our network of trusted charity partners, our Acts of Kindness program brings thoughtful, timely support to individuals and families in crisis. Whether it’s providing schoolbooks for vulnerable children, a warm winter coat for someone experiencing homelessness, or a care package for a struggling family, this program ensures that essential needs are met with dignity and compassion.
These acts may seem small, but they often arrive at pivotal moments—offering comfort, hope, and a reminder that someone cares. Each act is made possible through the generous contributions of our community, from monetary donations to material goods. Local individuals, families, schools, and businesses come together with a shared purpose: to lift others up when they need it most.
No request is too small if it has the power to bring light into someone’s day. Our team works closely with frontline support workers and outreach partners to identify real-time needs and respond quickly, ensuring help gets to where it's needed, when it's needed.
This program is a beautiful expression of humanity in action—showing that kindness, no matter how simple, can be transformative. It’s a testament to what we can achieve when communities unite with open hearts and helping hands.
