💚 Kickstart For Kids 💚

We’re proud to be supporting as our next community charity!

KickStart for Kids is a South Australian not-for-profit organisation working to give children experiencing hardship a more equal start in life. Through school breakfast and lunch programs, mentoring and other support, they help children feel supported, included and ready to learn.

Their programs currently reach more than 360 schools across South Australia, providing around 70,000 breakfasts and 10,000 lunches every week.

We’ll have a KickStart for Kids donation box at our front desk, and we’d love our community to get behind this wonderful organisation. Every contribution can help support children across South Australia who are experiencing hardship.

If you’d like to support this wonderful cause, you can make a donation at our front desk and help us give back to children in our community. Together, we can help KickStart a brighter day for a child!
