Festive Season Giving

Why Your Donation Matters: Transform Lives with Port Phillip Community Group

Christmas and the new year can be a joyful time, but for many individuals and families in our local community it can also be incredibly stressful. PPCG assists by providing Christmas Hampers, gifts for children and uniform assistance for the new school year. Our Share the Food program is busier than ever providing food assistance to local food relief agencies, and our Financial Counsellors are working to ensure people begin their year debt-free. 

Your donation this festive season will go a long way:

$50 – will provide 5 children with brand new Lego sets

$100 – will provide 5 families with a Christmas Hamper

$200 – will support 2 high school students with essential uniform for the new school year

$500 – will support our regular food relief program for one month!

What Do People Say?

I was placed in Emergency Housing in St Kilda due to a very dangerous situation where I was living. I literally had only a pair of shorts, t-shirt and runners after leaving where I was. PPCG listened carefully to what happened and much to my amazement found a way to order me brand new clothes and a food voucher. Thank you for giving me back my dignity to begin rebuilding my new life.
Again I am truly grateful for all the assistance PPCG gave me. The future is much brighter with hope than around 3 weeks ago when I needed assistance.

Make a Lasting Impact Through a Bequest

We understand that making a Will is a personal and important decision. It’s a chance to ensure that your wishes are carried out after you’re gone and that the people and causes you care about continue to benefit from your support. We have made leaving a bequest to PPCG easy.

Why Leave a Bequest to Port Phillip Community Group?

For the past 50 years Port Phillip Community Group (PPCG), has been working within the community to provide programs and services that support people in need, build stronger, more resilient communities, and create positive change where it’s needed most. We have evolved with the neighbourhood and maintained the essence of this welcoming place that we all call home. Your bequest will ensure that this community spirit lives on through your generosity. Your positive impact will make Port Phillip a better place for all future generations.

How to Leave a Bequest?

Making a bequest to PPCG is easy. You can include a gift to PPCG in your will or estate plan, either as a specific dollar amount or as a percentage of your estate.

PPCG has partnered with Willed, an online platform that enables you to safely and securely complete your legally-binding Will in a few simple steps, from the comfort of your own home.

Willed was created by lawyers and tech experts, but more importantly, real people – to simplify the process of end-of-life planning, saving you time, money and stress.

If you’ve already made a Will, you can add a codicil (an amendment to your will) to include PPCG. We recommend that you consult with your attorney or financial advisor to ensure that your bequest is structured in a way that aligns with your wishes and financial goals.

Thank you for considering leaving a bequest to Port Phillip Community Group. Leaving a bequest to Port Phillip Community Group is a way to make a lasting impact on the community you care about. Your legacy of support will help us continue to provide programs and services that make a real difference in the lives of people in need and create positive change in the community for generations to come.
