Help us make a difference

Each year Zig Zag faces ever increasing demands for our services and even though we receive funding from the Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety and the Department of Housing and Public Works, we struggle in an environment of increased need with depleting resources. Please dig deep and generously to assist Zig Zag’s committed workers in their continued support of young people at risk in our community.

Zig Zag is a registered charity.

Support the work of Zig Zag Young Women’s Resource Centre Inc by making a tax deductible online donation:

We use donated funds for:

  • Community education & information

  • Independent housing support – household items, kitchen utensils, linen, pantry and laundry items.

  • Therapeutic resources used in counselling and group work

  • Library books and resources

  • Emergency relief support – food vouchers, go cards, and phone credit
