Who we are

A strong desire to instill altruism and generosity in their young children led Carole Schlessinger and Ruth Tofler-Riesel to start Kids Giving Back in 2012.

Since then, we’ve been providing volunteering opportunities for thousands of kids and families across NSW.

Today, we work with more than 50 charity partners and offer volunteering opportunities for every age.

Who we’ve helped

We partner with charities across NSW to support some of the most vulnerable members of our community.

Whether it’s helping with events, preparing care packages or distributing food, we’re committed to making a real, meaningful impact.

Hear from those we’ve worked with

  • Those meals made me so happy

    I would like to relay the wonderful comments our client Jonathan made recently when he received the meal from your Cook4Good program. “Those meals made me so happy. For a long time I have been feeling really down but when I received the meal I thought to myself ‘The world is a good place’, ‘it’s not all bad’.

  • Incredible from start to finish

    I thought the whole experience was incredible from start to finish. I liked the broken up structure of the day, taking turns from the cooking and presentation. The stats that were presented were so significant and really hit home.

  • Brilliantly put together

    I thought it was brilliantly put together. Easy, informative, clear instructions, well prepared. The girls favourite part was cutting up the food and also delivering the food and meeting the person we delivered to.
