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.

Basic care packs providing a fresh start
“We are so grateful for the generous donations from Good360 that made putting together our basic care packs (BCP’s) possible. From the mini conditioners and body wash to the warm beanies, gloves and winter accessories. Every item was thoughtfully received and carefully packed to support women accessing emergency assistance due to domestic and family violence. Our BCP’s are more than just essentials, they offer comfort, dignity and a reminder that someone cares during a deeply difficult time.”

Fun & Games @ Spectrum Space
“The BIC pens and REBOUNCE game have made such a positive difference in our sessions. The pens are used daily, and participants are especially drawn to the calming colours, which help support focus and engagement. The REBOUNCE game has quickly become a group favourite, bringing the kids together through laughter and teamwork” (Spectrum Space Program Facilitator).
Mother’s Day Gift Adds Extra Joy
From a volunteer: “One of the best parts of the day was watching clients take their time choosing a gift with dignity and excitement. So many of them went straight for the hand creams”
From a client “I’m choosing the hand creams as a Mother’s Day gift. I think my daughter will love them”

Joy through Challenging times
Two siblings recently admitted to our school are facing the doubly challenging experience of being hospitalized together. Their parents navigate the added difficulty of isolation during this time, making support from the community all the more vital. We were delighted to receive generous support from Good 360 and their donor partner LEGO, a gift cherished by children of all ages. Holding the LEGO sets brought these siblings a much needed and joyful distraction from their hospital stay, offering moments of creativity and connection in a difficult period. This kindness highlights the importance of community support in helping our students and their families through challenging times.
Lego for Children in Foster Care
Our volunteers do a fantastic job packing our Suitcases of Hope for newborns through to 17yo and to be able to include a lego play item is fantastic, but unfortunately, we rarely get any direct feedback as we provide our suitcases to the child support agencies, as they are the ones with direct contact with the children in need of our suitcases.
Bottles for Babies entering Out of Home Care
We rarely get direct feedback from the recipients of our Suitcases as we have no contact with them. We provide our Suitcases of Hope to the Victorian Child Support Agencies and they give them to the children they are placing in Out of Home care.
Mother’s Day Gift Brings Joy
“Thank you so much. I now have something I can give my mother on Mother’s Day.” Community Care client
I had always thought bobby pins were for hair but one recipient of our Mother’s Day table asked, “May I please have some bobby pins? I used them for my macrame. It makes it so much easier to thread the beads onto the thread.” She was so excited!
From a volunteer “It’s so pleasing to see our clients with smiles on their faces when they realised there was a Mother’s Day table full of gifts from which they could choose. The bobby pins were so popular!”

We love LEGO at Lowanna!
Students were so excited to see the boxes of Lego arrive at our school. We LOVE Lego and it is a great incentive to support regular attendance at our school. Students take the Lego home as reward to improved attendance which supports their learning. Thank you so much for this very generous gift. It means so much to our small school.
