The only thing holding him back from running the school cross-country was not having sneakers.
Thanks to the Nike shoes, Mark was able to lace up & participate in cross-country.

Loved Wrapped Up
A single Mum was overwhelmed as she had been collecting bottles and cans to get enough money for food and presents, when she received the hamper, she was in shock and she didn’t have to find cans and bottles anymore.
One family who had been homeless and doing it very tough for a long time, the mother burst into tears and just could not stop crying, she said we now have food and presents. (this Christmas she and her daughter will not forget your generosity as you made it so special, it was the last one she spent with her husband, he died unexpectedly two weeks later).
One family who received a hamper, the children were so excited to have food and presents, the youngest was running around like he’d just scored a soccer goal.
A mum just released from hospital with breast cancer. Wrote, “your kindness for thinking about us, means the world to me. I am speechless to be honest. The kids are beside themselves. What a beautiful world we live in, thank you.”
A homeless man, was so touched by his hamper he said “no one has ever done that for him,” he had a tear in his eye.
A young mum fleeing domestic violence, who had nothing for her children for Christmas and no food. She didn’t know what to say, she was staying at her mums, and her mother, just broke down crying just so thankful, as she didn’t know how she was going to help her daughter and children.

Bringing Hope Through Education: Thank You, Good360 and BIC
Teachers have shared stories of students who now eagerly engage in lessons, no longer borrowing or going without. One student, who previously avoided written work due to a lack of supplies, is now proudly completing assignments—something his teacher had never seen before.
Double outcome and joy
Thank you so much for the opportunity to learn new skills in dress making. It was fun, helpful and the start of a new life skill.
Wow – what a lovely new dress was the joy of the children who received new clothing made from the fabric donated and mothers who enjoyed learning new sewing skills
2025 Giving Day
Willmot Public School actively collects toys and gifts throughout the year for Giving Day, ensuring that every student and community member can receive something special. We have had a fantastic start this year, thanks to the wonderful items received from Good360 and Hasbro. On Giving Day over 800 gifts are distributed to students and families, making a significant impact in your community.
Bringing Gifts of Hope
In 2024, HFOC provided 215 Christmas gifts, which we distributed to struggling families and children who would have otherwise gone without. For many of these families, Christmas can be an incredibly difficult time, bringing financial stress and emotional strain. The relief and joy these gifts provided were immeasurable, offering families a chance to celebrate without the worry of how they would provide for their children.
One of the most profound impacts of this initiative was the sense of dignity and inclusion it gave to parents, knowing they had something special for their children, provided by their community. For the children, the excitement of unwrapping a gift on Christmas morning brought a moment of happiness and normalcy that every child deserves. – Mercy Community

Supporting Safe and Inclusive Spaces
Diversity Arts Australia sincerely appreciates the support from Good360. The hand sanitisers and hygiene products we received in 2022 were essential in maintaining safe and welcoming spaces for the communities we work with, particularly as we were coming out of COVID lockdowns and aiming to reduce the spread of COVID.
