Waves of Kindness

Bringing change and hope to those in need.

Waves of Kindness is a Noosaville (Sunshine Coast) based, not for profit charity that provides clothing, household items, furniture, toys, and financial assistance to individuals and families in need due to poverty, homelessness, domestic and family violence, or illness. Referrals from local support networks are used to supply household items and furniture, while financial assistance can help with essential bills and food.

This is how

We Help Members Of Our Community:

  • We supply clothing, household items, manchester, furniture and toys for distribution to those in need due to poverty, homelessness, domestic and family violence  or illness in the community.
  • Clients needing household items and furniture are referred to Waves of Kindness by our local support network.  We supply these clients from the donated goods within the shop.
  • Financial assistance for essential bills and food can help individuals and families get back on their feet.
  • Restoring self worth and confidence to people in the community who come to volunteer in the charity.
