Over the decades and today, the Project Compassion box is a symbol of hope and generosity. The box is a practical way of helping those in need around the world.

Caritas Australia has produced the short video below to celebrate 50 years of the Project Compassion box. Bishop Terry Brady said, ‘The boxes work for a lot of families’.

Jane Sulis, Outreach Coordinator at Santa Sabina College in Stratfield said, ‘The Project Compassion box is a great example of a lot of people doing a little bit, that then aggrevates to make a big difference’.

‘The PC box has stood the test of time’, Paul O’Callaghan, CEO of Caritas Australia commented. ‘It’s a great example of our Catholic commitment to sharing and being with others.’
