Building a Strong Future with Set to Succeed
All of the First Nations young adults from the Set to Succeed program in Townsville have deep gratitude for the donated NIKE shoes and exercise clothes provided by NIKE and GOOD360. This will help with continual fitness and improve mental health – getting those endorphins up on their days off work.
Cult Fashion Statement Trending in Communities Thanks to Nike
General observation as we unpacked the order
“At first, we were all having a bit fun trying the shoes on and working out how we could style them, a couple of pairs were a little different to what we had received in the past! But as we kept unpacking, the conversation quickly turned to how cool it is that we get to give our families proper designer shoes. Like the Nike Air Rifts – a real cult fashion design yet functional (and comfortable) shoe. These are a 2026 sought after trending shoe right now. We all knew that these items were special so being able to hand over brand new NIKE footwear feels pretty special and something we know will really boost confidence.”
Diversity of Donations Brings Excitement
As unpacking order (conversation between Marketing and KICS Program Manager)
“There is so much to get excited about with this order. Families are going to have some fun. The staff are going to enjoy putting the packages together and choosing items that feel just right for the children, young people and adults in each family. I can only image what the next family visits will look like, seeing the smiles and fun these items will create.”
Flood Recovery in Action – Western Downs, QLD
Following recent flooding across the Western Downs region, Farm Angels has been working alongside local partners to ensure essential relief supplies reach impacted families as quickly as possible.
With support from Good360 and Amazon, pallets of critical items including clean-up kits, hygiene packs and children’s essentials were delivered to Chinchilla. Within 24 hours, volunteers and staff began unpacking and distributing supplies through the Chinchilla Community Recovery Hub.
What unfolded was a truly collaborative, community-led response. Recovery Hub personnel, State Government Recovery Officers, Lifeline representatives, the Chinchilla Community Centre and Farm Angels worked side by side to unload, sort and distribute supplies. Ensuring those accessing recovery services could receive practical support immediately. As community members arrived to complete recovery claims, many walked out not just with paperwork completed, but with the essential items needed to begin cleaning up and caring for their families.

“Feeling Human”
As an organisation working at the centre of many complex challenges, we often meet young people from less fortunate backgrounds who arrive without basic hygiene items or who are repeatedly wearing the same clothing. For us, it is essential that every young person feels seen, heard, and safe—knowing they can attend our programs without shame or fear.
When receiving these gifts, many young people respond with quiet surprise: “Is this really for me?” or “I’ve never had a new pair of shoes before.” These moments are never about fault—only circumstance. They are a simple yet powerful reminder that not everyone is given the same start in life, and that small acts of care can make a lasting difference.

Everyone Deserves Dignity
Margaret* stated “this is the first time our program has been able to give something to our listeners. We often attend community events and can only give out information. This time, we were able to give them something real and important, and start a whole new conversation. We focused on people with teenage daughters and were able to give out around 10 packs to vulnerable new arrivals in our community.”
Hand creams for self care and sensory benefits
When the hand creams were received we facilitated some groups at Mackay Step Up Step Down Service about self-care and also building “toolkits” to help residents when they feel distressed. The residents are encouraged to fill the toolkit with items that uplift them and guide them through a difficult time or mood. The hand creams were very popular with both groups as the scents of the creams are beautiful and uplifting. It was lovely to see the smiles on the faces of residents who may not usually be able to afford luxurious hand creams like these.
Clients who have come to our Mackay Crisis Support Space – Safe Harbour, have also reportedly loved the hand creams as a little luxury to take with them after presenting to the service in a distressed state and will use the creams as a lovely self-care item or a sensory tool that invokes a sense of calm for the person. The scents of the cream are all beautiful and definitely have a calming effect and a positive message for maintaining self-care, even when you’re struggling.

Good360 – Making a Difference
So many children in care or crisis go without basics such as toothbrushes and toothpaste. Some have never owned a toothbrush before.
This donation makes a huge difference in helping provide these children with essential oral hygience products most of us take for granted.
A little bit of LEGO magic
A while back we received a shipment of LEGO sets from Good360, and I wish you could have seen the kids’ faces when we unpacked them.
For many of the families in our community, buying toys—especially something like LEGO—is just not possible right now. So when the children realised these sets were *for them*, the excitement was incredible. Kids who usually hang back were suddenly sitting on the floor together, opening boxes, sorting pieces, and proudly showing off the things they built.
One mum told us, “I’ve never seen my son so focused and happy. He hasn’t put it down since he got it.” Another parent said it was the first brand-new toy their child had ever owned.
The LEGO didn’t just give the kids something fun to do. It gave them confidence, creativity, and a sense of being cared for. It brought families together and brought a lot of joy into homes that really needed it.
A huge thank you to Good360 for making this possible. Your support made a real difference—more than you probably realise—and we’re so grateful.
Back to School Back Packs
“I just wanted to send a huge thank you for the back-to-school backpack my daughter, Maya*, received. Honestly, it’s a massive help. Getting all the supplies at once is always a financial stressor this time of year, and the quality of the backpack and the supplies inside is fantastic. I was surprised by the products that are in the backpack, the headlice treatment will be so handy and helpful as we always seem to struggle with them. She was so excited about the new colored pencils! It truly makes a difference, and we really appreciate the community’s support in making sure she starts the year ready to learn.”
