Want to volunteer? We had a lot of interest from people who want to join our renovation rescue team but who weren’t able to make it on Sunday. The renovations are for our new community space and Op Shop that will provide new and supportive employment opportunities for women experiencing homelessness and escaping domestic abuse situations. We have the space but it needs a lot of love can care. If you’d like to contribute to the renovations in any way please join the group and please tag or bring along anyone whom you think might be able to help us. […]
We managed to do quite a bit during our 2018 drive at Sleeping Bags For Homelessness. Over 2100 life saving sleeping bags delivered across the country. A huge thank you to everyone who helped us out. We’ll be collecting again in April 2019!
Christmas is a time of giving, and we’re absolutely delighted to be able to give these gifts to children experiencing homelessness this Christmas. Our very organised supervisor, Santa Simon and his team of lovely elves wrapped all 89 of these gifts yesterday and they’ll be delivered soon to make sure they arrive in time for Christmas Day. A huge thank you to Good360 Australia and to LEGO for donating us all of these beautiful gifts. There are going to be some very happy and excited kids this Christmas who otherwise would have been left without anything to open Christmas morning. Merry Christmas everyone. Thank you […]
What an absolutely incredible start to our renovation rescue day! Just as we opened the doors these two beautiful people, Angie and Geoff, came in with (what they said was) a ‘little’ surprise for us. Turns out that little surprise was a cheque for $2500 to get our renovations up and running! Wow!! Every year Angie and Geoff hold a card making and raffle day to raise money for a chosen charity. This year they raised over $5000 and split it between two charities. We were one of the the very lucky recipients! We were just overjoyed with their generosity […]

First BBQ is tomorrow for our reno planning day! 2pm, 50 Lygon Street Brunswick East!
