Who we support
St Kilda Mums supports welfare agencies with material aid. This service is provided free of charge and there are no assessment criteria. Our objective is to respond to as many requests as possible, as quickly as we can.
To make the collection process easy, safe and efficient for both our case workers and our volunteers, we have a few simple guidelines. If you are a health professional or work for a welfare agency and would like to find out more about our service please read our Collection Policy.

How your donations have helped
"I just wanted to say a big thank you to all you wonderful volunteers who show so much care in the packs and goods you put together to pass onto our clients. It is such a pleasure each time I attend for pick up to be greeted in such a warm manner, your all so organised and ready to help.
What you do really makes a difference in the lives of others. The vulnerable clients I work with are so grateful for the assistance provided and it so amazing to see the excitement, happiness and relief in their faces when forwarding the goods needed to care for their babies/toddlers."
Vanessa Dhondee, Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies
"I would like to say special thanks for the Christmas Crafts that were put together by you. You would not believe how grateful the Mum’s were for these beautiful gifts. It was an absolute pleasure to distribute these to the families."
Linda ONeill, Hanover Welfare Services
"Thank you for the beautiful clothing bag I picked up on Friday. I sat with the mother in our Young Mum’s Group as she went through the bag with the other women in the group and their reactions were lovely. She is very appreciative so thanks again."
Natalie Leechman, Uniting Care Connections
"St Kilda Mums provides a valuable service to the community. When a client within the Maternal and Child Health Service is identified as needing resources, St Kilda Mums is approached for assistance, with everything from breast pumps and prams to clothing. These resources are promptly provided for the family, usually within a week. St Kilda Mums takes a great deal of care with the quality of the items provided and the Maternal and Child Health Service is appreciative of the service they provide to the community."
Cathie Arndt, City of Port Phillip Maternal Child Health
