Shine a Star this Christmas
Bring hope, joy, and light to someone who needs it most.

Shine a Star Today

You can bring light and hope to someone this Christmas.

This Christmas, some Queenslanders will feel isolated—children rebuilding in care, carers carrying heavy burdens, and older people spending the season alone, longing for connection and comfort.

Your gift to Shine a Star can change that.

Each star shines with the light of Christ, reminding someone they are seen, valued, and loved.

What your gift does

Every star expresses value and brings hope:


$25 – Can bring joy to a child who has experienced homelessness with a special Christmas gift.

 $50 – Can bless a foster carer with a heartfelt gift card to show appreciation this Christmas.

 $75 – Can provide a festive hamper for someone living alone—offering comfort, connection, and a reminder that they’re cared for and valued.


Together, these stars form a constellation of generosity that lights up our communities.

Give Hope Now

The Heart of It

At the heart of Christmas is light; the light that came into the world to bring hope and peace.


Your generosity reflects that same light.

With every donation, you help turn darkness into joy and loneliness into belonging.


“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” – John 1:5

Real Stories of Hope

“Last Christmas, I didn’t expect anything. Then I received a gift and a card that said I was cared for. It meant so much.”

Sam, resident in community housing


“Being a foster carer is rewarding but challenging. The gift card reminded me that what I do matters — and that I’m not alone.”

 – Katrina, foster carer

Where the star stops, hope begins

Together, we can shine the light of hope across Queensland.

One star, one story, one act of love at a time.
