B4VK Giving Day Appeal
About B4VK Annual Giving Day
Children, their safety and wellbeing, are at the heart of everything we do.
To ensure longevity of our programs and to raise awareness about children at risk of abuse or neglect, or experiencing the trauma of displacement, we launched B4VK Annual Giving Day in June 2021.
With the incredible support of our community, we were able to provide material aid to over 8,247 children in 2022.
The need to support children in crisis and out of home care will never go away. In fact, the latest research highlights that *27,500 children in Victoria could enter the OOHC system by 2026 as a result of the pandemic.
This year we aim to support more than 11,250 local kids displaced, in emergency accommodation or in an out of home care placement.
Every single one of them is part of our caring, compassionate, resilient community.
They all need our support now more than ever.
Save the date
Our next B4VK Annual Giving Day will be held on Thursday 8th June 2023.
Your donation matters
Your contribution can make a world of difference to stressed, frightened and anxious children experiencing displacement and being relocated to temporary accommodation or emergency care with strangers, without belongings nor anything to call their own.
Help them feel a little less alone.
Organise a fundraiser at school
Kids love supporting their peers! There are many ways for schools to help change the lives of vulnerable children. Holding a fundraising activity for Backpacks 4 VIC Kids will help us give essential items giving children an equal chance to thrive.
