Our Campaigns

Throughout the year, we work closely with support agencies and non-profit organisations throughout South Australia. We do not replicate the work of these important agencies - instead, we work closely with them to add a meaningful layer of tailored support and kindness for those who are in their program.

We regularly ask two important questions; firstly, what is it that these women and their children most need? Secondly, what is it that they would most like that will bring them some light and joy?

We aim to relieve some of the anxiety by providing selected vital goods like food or clothing - and we also aim to bring happiness and joy by gifting beauty & self-care parcels, as well as books, craft and educational toys for children.

Since 2014, we have delivered more than thirty campaigns & events, we have transformed Transition Housing environments, established the MumKIND Education Fund and contributed to education & employment programs. We have donated 100,000+ material items directly to families in need, we have supported more than 8,000 families and most recently we have enrolled thirty local children in the Playford10 co-curricular programs in Elizabeth.

We run a variety of campaigns throughout the year and welcome your contributions via our network of drop-off locations.

Spring.Fashion

August – September 2024

As the fresh energy of Spring arrives, so does an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of hundreds of women across South Australia who need our care, our support – and our clothing donations. Building on the success of our previous "Get Changed" campaign, MumKIND is proud to introduce "Spring.Fashion"—a seasonal initiative focused on empowering women through the gift of high-quality, pre-loved ‘corporate’ style clothing.

Pathways to Empowerment Bags with The Zahra Foundation

June – July 2024

This winter, we’re partnering with The Zahra Foundation to compile 100 Pathway to Empowerment bags. We’re already well on the way to compiling the bags, thanks to the generous support of Haircare Group, Taboo Period Products and Maine Beach body products. To help complete the packs, we’re asking for your help to donate 100 lipsticks, 100 mascaras, 100 deodorants and 100 lovely personal notebooks.

Warm Hearts

June – July 2022

With winter well and truly upon us we’re excited to launch our first major campaign in a while (thanks COVID!). ‘Warm Hearts’ is an initiative we’re running through June & July, inviting donations of new nighties, pyjamas, robes and socks for women and children to be delivered to selected drop-off locations throughout Adelaide.

Feast

April 2021

MumKIND presents FEAST - a shared meal and a shared experience for the women and children who are supported by the Vinnie’s Women’s Crisis Centre.

Get Changed

February – April 2020

If you have pre-loved or brand new clothes that you're able to donate from your wardrobe, or if you're a fashion retailer with end-of-season stock that you're able to donate, we'd love to connect with you now. 'Get Changed' is a campaign focused on changing the lives of South Australians, who have nothing to change into… no clothes.

Brilliant Books 2019

August – December 2019

Reading books is one of the most crucial of ingredients to anyone’s childhood, starting from the second they’re born. It’s part of every child’s night-time routine, or so it should be. Books are not a luxury, they’re a necessity, but kids around us go without these amazing tools. Some children don’t touch their first book until they arrive at school, aged five!

SA Pantry

March – April 2019

SA Pantry is an innovative campaign, with the aim of supplying pantry packages full of immediately useful, non-perishable food produce to benefit South Australian families who lack food security.

Toys & Teddies for Christmas

September – December 2018

We're so excited to be partnering with the dear Sam and Andrew 'Cosi' Costello for Christmas this year and also we're returning to the KIDDO Markets.

Warm Toes and Warm Hearts

June – August 2018

This winter, let's warm the toes and hearts of the hundreds of severely disadvantaged mummies and their beautiful children, who deserve the basic human-right of warmth.

Nice nighties

April – June 2018

‘Nice nighties’ is about more than just buying some nice nighties or pyjamas for women and children, its about taking a moment to be kind, to be generous, to show care, to do something good for someone.

Summer Essentials

December 2017 – January 2018

For many disadvantaged South Aussies, access to good personal care can be near-impossible. Add to this exposure to the extremities of a South Australian Summer and potentially a lack of shade, shelter and hydration and risks to basic core health become very real, particularly for those facing homelessness.

Significant Smalls

November – December 2017

Bloomers, smalls, undies, briefs, panties, knickers, intimates or drawers – whatever you call them, we need them...

Shower with Love

October – November 2017

Give the gift of a hot shower. Help us source items for toiletry bags to be donated to women arriving at crisis accommodation.

Kitchen Tea

January – May 2017

Mother’s Day will be celebrated on Sunday 14 May 2017... Mums across the country will be lavished with gifts and have a delicious breakfast presented to them, or a nice home-cooked dinner in the evening. But….. too many Mum’s, will go entirely without reward, or celebration & certainly they’ll go without a lovingly prepared home-cooked meal. Some families don’t & cannot produce home-cooked food because they simply don’t have the essentials to do so; they don’t have chopping boards, wooden spoons and mixing bowls etc.

Brilliant Books

November – December 2016

Education and Employment Program supporting to clients at Catherine House

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world" - Nelson Mandela. We know the positive impact education has on individuals, families, communities and society as a whole. An education can assist in building confidence, self-worth, equality, hope - not to mention employment, security, independence and safety.

Get involved

Playford 10

Ten years, is a pivotal age for children in disadvantaged communities. Research* shows that a child’s future success can be significantly impacted by engaging in sport, arts and volunteering through co-curricular activities at age ten. The Playford 10 program has been developed to specifically address this. 270 children in years 4/5 at Category 1 primary schools in Elizabeth are currently participating in activities such as tennis, cheer leading and circus skills to develop their communication, team work and problem solving skills; and to improve the development of trusted relationships with role models.
