CHEERS: You can now support us through Containers For ChangešŸ„¤šŸ§ƒšŸ¾
Published on August 24, 2024 by Tiyana Jovanovic

We are thrilled to announce an exciting new way support the Humanitarian Changemakers Network! You can now contribute to our mission simply by recycling cans, bottles, and cartons through the Containers For Change program in Queensland (QLD) and other participating states.


How It Works

Containers For Change makes it easy for you to make a difference. For every eligible container you collect and recycle, you can help us fund our grassroots network. Hereā€™s how your recycling will directly support our network:
  1. Collect Your Containers: Gather all your eligible cans, bottles, and cartons. Most standard drink containers between 150ml and 3L are eligible.
  2. Visit a Drop-Off Point: Take your collected containers to a Containers For Change location in QLD or other participating states. Remember to keep all your recycling receipts!
  3. Direct Your Donation: When you return your containers, simply specify the Humanitarian Changemakers Network as your preferred donation recipient. The scheme ID for our network will be provided at all participating locations.

Your Impact

For every container you recycle, Containers For Change donates 10 cents directly to our network. This tangible contribution adds up quickly and helps us continue our mission of empowering grassroots changemakers and supporting critical social projects.

Mutual Aid Australia: Solidarity in Action

Weā€™re excited to announce that 5 cents from every can, bottle, or carton will be specifically directed to our collective, Mutual Aid Australia. This initiative ensures that half of all funds raised will go directly towards offering immediate support and solidarity to our community members when they need it most.
Ā 

How Your 5 Cents Helps:

  • Emergency Assistance: Provides urgent financial aid for members facing unexpected crises.
  • Community Projects: Supports local initiatives that promote social justice, sustainability, and community well-being.
  • Resource Sharing: Funds essential resources and tools to help community members who may not otherwise have access to them.

Make a Difference Today

By simply recycling your containers, you can play a crucial role in supporting humanitarian efforts and building a resilient, empowered community. Your contribution helps us continue offering support, running impactful projects, and fostering a culture of solidarity and mutual aid.

Hereā€™s how you can get involved:
  1. Start Collecting: Begin collecting eligible containers at home, work, or school.
  2. Spread the Word: Tell your friends, family, and colleagues about this initiative and encourage them to participate.
