Make a Donation

There are many ways you can help, including:

Make a donation: from bikes to clothes or cash

With a diversity of programs and services at CAFS, there is bound to be something that you can donate to. For more information, contact Christina Fay, Business Development & Events Coordinator, on 5337 3333 or email: cfay@cags.org.au

Make a bequest: a lifelong gift

Making a bequest or leaving a 'gift' in your Will to a cause that you hold dear to your heart is one of the greatest legacies you can make. They transform your Will into one of the most powerful vehicles for change in the community, with little or no impact on your lifestyle today.

For more information about including CAFS in your will, contact bequests@cags.org.au

Enlist the support of friends, work colleagues or school buddies, put your creative hat on and plan your own fundraising event, it's a great way to connect with others whilst having fun, all for a good cause... CAFS!
