2024 Karinya Christmas Drive

Ruddicks again proudly collected donations this Christmas for Karinya Youth Services Tas.

Karinya is an amazing local organisation which is supporting and addressing the needs of at risk young people in Tasmania. They currently have three programs:

  • Karinya Crisis – which offers emergency short term crisis accommodation for young women 13-20 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness;
  • Youth Transitional Tenancy (KYTT) – providing transitional accommodation and support for young people aged 16-24 facing homelessness; and
  • Karinya Young Mums (KYM) – providing accommodation and support for young pregnant women aged 15-19 and young families who are homeless or at risk.

These donations went to Karinya’s clients providing them with gifts during a very vulnerable time of year.

Our office at 102 Tamar Street, Launceston was a drop off point for donations from 11 November to 6 December 2024.

Ruddicks would like to thank all those that donated towards our 2024 Christmas Drive for Karinya Youth Services Tasmania.

We received an incredible amount of donations which have now been collected and will be distributed to the Karinya program participants at their Christmas party later this month.

We thank Jane and the team at Karinya for their tremendous work in our community and wish them a Merry Christmas.
