With Christmas just around the corner, we are excited to share that Meridian and Brown Property Group will once again be supporting the annual Community Information and Support Cranbourne (CISC) Christmas Drive.
CISC is a trusted, long-standing organisation that provides essential services, free programs and direct support to families and individuals across the Casey community. From emergency relief to counselling and financial assistance, their work makes a real and immediate difference to those experiencing hardship.
CISC’s Impact Over the Past Two Years
Thanks to the generosity of the local community, CISC has continued to deliver vital aid throughout the past two years, including:
- $673,000 worth of food and petrol vouchers
- 2,325 food parcels for families in need
- $63,090 to support children from 285 families with education expenses
- $353,490 in debt removed for struggling households
- $20,415 towards short-term car registration
- $29,610 in essential medication
As demand continues to rise, CISC has also:
- Responded to 97,424 requests for information, referrals and assistance
- Provided counselling to 656 individuals, couples, families and children
- Supported 608 clients with complex financial and paralegal challenges
These numbers reflect just how many people rely on CISC, and why community support is more important than ever.
How You Can Help
Last year, thanks to generous donations, CISC provided toys and hampers to almost 300 families in December. This year, they’re hoping to reach even more, and they need our support to make it happen.
You can help brighten someone’s Christmas by donating:
- New toys
- Gift vouchers
- Toiletries
- Non-perishable food items
- Other essential items for children and families
Please note: CISC is only able to accept new items and non-perishable food.
Second-hand items and teddy bears cannot be accepted due to storage and hygiene requirements.
