The Possible Mission

Where every dollar counts—literally. Our Cap Policy sets us apart: once we reach our $80k annual operating budget, 100% of every additional dollar flows directly to vulnerable individuals and families. No overhead. No admin costs. Pure impact. As an Inner West Sydney organisation, we've relied on volunteer power since 2022 and even before—redistributing millions of items to over countless organisations, rural communities, and people in need across Australia. But we can't run on passion alone anymore. We need your support to keep going. With adequate funding, we continue delivering essential supplies where they're needed most. All donations are tax-deductible, and we practice complete transparency—questions welcome anytime.


Giving a little, helps us give a lot.

Our Purpose

Turning compassion into action. We provide essential support to individuals and organisations across our community - facing poverty, illness, disability, crisis, and hardship. From nappies and baby items to musical instruments, sports gear, school supplies, and art equipment—we deliver what's needed to help vulnerable people thrive, not just survive.


Sustainable support that heals and protects. By rehoming new, gently-used items and business surplus, we prevent negative health outcomes while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Every item diverted from landfills becomes an opportunity in someone's hands.


Where human dignity meets environmental responsibility.

Future Goals

A free shop for those in need - for businesses to leave excess stock - for the public to leave gifts. We're working toward opening a permanent location where registered organisations and referred individuals can access essential supplies with dignity—facilitating recycling, reducing emissions, saving city costs, and uplifting vulnerable families all at once.


Because access shouldn't be a luxury. Not everyone has the supplies that spark well-being, inspire learning, or support good health. We're excited to expand throughout the Inner West and greater Sydney, building a more sustainable and compassionate community together.


From vision to reality—with your support.
