A blanket seems like a simple thing. But for someone arriving in Australia with very little, facing their first cold winter far from home, it can mean warmth, comfort, and welcome.

Over the past year, MCCI has supported almost 1,000 people as they rebuilt their lives after conflict, displacement, hardship and loss. This year, the need continues to grow, with almost 200 newly arrived people from refugee backgrounds referred to MCCI for support as they settle into life in Australia.

For years, our community has supported MCCI's Winter Blanket Appeal, helping us distribute more than 1,000 blankets to newly arrived refugee and migrant families. With winter just days away, we're asking you to help again. Your donation of a new double blanket can provide warmth, comfort and a welcome reminder that our community cares.

You can:
• Donate a new double blanket at 5 Old Springhill Road, Coniston
• Or donate using the link below to help us purchase new blankets

Thank you for helping us create a warmer, more welcoming community this winter.
