Annual Christmas Appeal 2026

Aboriginal Housing Victoria's Annual Christmas Toy Appeal is underway!

AHV is an Aboriginal community organisation managing nearly 1800 rental properties for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people living in Victoria. As an Aboriginal landlord providing secure housing, Aboriginal Housing Victoria helps strengthen Aboriginal communities and cultural ties. We maintain and sustain tenancies to help break the cycle of poverty and disadvantage.

Christmas can be a particularly difficult time for many of our renters and their families. With the ongoing struggle of paying bills on a limited income, there is little money left for Christmas gifts. Each year AHV provides gifts to hundreds of our renters’ children and Elders across the state thanks to donations made by our generous community. Your support allows us to ease some of the stresses faced by many of our renters.

We are reaching out again to ask for support at what can be a challenging time of year for some of the most vulnerable in our community.

During our last Christmas Appeal, we provided Christmas gifts to 1300 children and young people and hampers to 450 Elders (aged 60+) living in AHV households.

You can assist us in bringing some Christmas joy to Aboriginal Elders and families by:
