The Christmas Bowl program has been supporting Act for Peace's project partners around the world for more than 60 years. It is an important symbol for churches, schools and individuals all around Australia who work together to promote peace, justice and partnership.
The program started in 1949 when Rev. Frank Byatt placed an empty bowl on the dinner table during Christmas and asked guests to put in the bowl the cost of their meal, so that it could be distributed to people displaced from their homes due to World War II. Since then, the Christmas Bowl has raised over $100 million to help war-torn communities, thanks to our generous and committed supporters.
Please give generously this Christmas, by making a secure online donation through our website, or calling us on 1800 025 101.
