Legacy Tea Towels: A Meaningful Gift with Purpose
In a touching initiative blending compassion with sustainability, Legacy Australia has partnered with Expressions Tea Towels to create a memorable gift for those who’ve given so much. Each year, Legacy prepares heartfelt gift packs for their 60,000+ beneficiaries, primarily elderly widows of Australian Defence Force veterans. This year, a new and deeply symbolic item joins the pack, a custom printed organic cotton tea towel.
Honouring Legacy Through Purposeful Gifting
Legacy Australia’s work is invaluable. Supporting families after the loss or injury of a veteran parent or spouse, their care reaches across the nation. The charity added custom tea towels to its annual Christmas gift bags, a practical and heartfelt item. These same tea towels were also featured as part of Legacy Week, a national appeal every September used to raise critical funds.
Why Tea Towels Make Ethical Fundraising Gifts
Organic cotton tea towels aren’t just functional, they’re sustainable, Australian-designed and a product that will be used. They provide an eco-conscious alternative to plastic or throwaway merchandise, making them a standout for anyone seeking ethical fundraising ideas.
Screen printing, especially with one to three vibrant colours, provides high-impact visual appeal. Combined with large print areas on cotton and linen blend tea towels, the result is an eye-catching gift that’s built to last, just like Legacy’s enduring commitment to Australian families.
Locally Made with Love (and Purpose)
All Expressions Tea Towels are printed in Australia using environmentally friendly inks. The products themselves are made from ethically sourced 100% organic cotton or cotton-linen blends, ensuring each towel stands for something more. They’re soft, long-wearing and GOTS-certified, making them ideal for community groups, fundraisers, or gifts of meaning.

Legacy’s Design Choice
Legacy opted for white organic cotton tea towels with classic screen printing. This allowed them to include a timeless and clear message on a gift that’s both usable and cherished. It also served double duty, gifting during the holidays and fundraising during the national campaign. A perfect example of how practical merchandise can drive both connection and cause.
