An outreach ministry on Queensland's Gold Coast is supplying up to 500 emergency Christmas hampers to families in need this summer.
Newlife Care, the community outreach arm of the Newlife Uniting Church, provides counseling, community outreach and emergency relief all year round but Christmas is especially busy.

Local welfare agencies, schools and chaplains help them ensure the hampers are age and family appropriate.
