How you can help our causes

Australian DIY Families Institute services the southern villages of the Southern Highlands. Since the 2019 bushfires, and espedcially during the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a very real lack of support to these areas. When you give or support us, you are making a very tangible impact in the lives of sole-parent families in crisis in this region.

Essential Services

We service Bundanoon to South Marulan and are able to directly assist now with non-perishable food hampers. If you know someone in need, please refer them to us and we will assist or refer them to organisations that are able.

To make these services easier to access, delivery will be available in our targeted region to isolated sole-parent families, families and elder clients who are impaired or unable to attend our Bundanoon location.
