QLD VS NSW - Which state will return more containers for Little Wings?
At Containers for Change, we know that small actions can have big impacts. Like how your empty drink containers can help fuel free flights for seriously ill children.
How might you ask? Through the incredible work of Little Wings.
Why support Little Wings?
Little Wings is a not-for-profit organisation that provides free air and ground transport for seriously ill children living in rural and regional NSW, ACT, and QLD.
They help families access lifesaving care in major cities and bring children home for precious time with loved ones between treatments - easing the emotional, financial, and physical burden of ongoing medical care.
How your containers make a difference
Little Wings is a registered charity in the Containers for Change program, which means you can donate your 10-cent refunds directly to support their vital work.
They receive 100% of your donated refund, which helps fund fuel, flights, and family support services.
In fact, just 20 containers returned can fund 1 litre of fuel for their journeys.
The State vs State Recycling Challenge is on!
Queensland and New South Wales are currently going head-to-head in a three-game, friendly recycling showdown to see which state can donate the most containers to Little Wings.
The prize: Critical support for children in need (and state bragging rights!)
Queensland took an early lead, winning Game 1, while NSW is leading Game 2 with two days to go. No matter which state comes out on top, every donation will help fuel flights and change lives.
To keep up to date with the competition, follow Little Wings on Facebook and Instagram.
