We asked and you delivered! 💕

A few weeks ago, we put out a call for un**es and socks, and the steady stream of community members popping in with donations has been so heartwarming. 🥰

It’s such a wonderful reminder of the generosity, kindness and sense of community that exists right here on our doorstep.

And then yesterday, a lovely local lady went shopping specifically for the clients we support and donated this EPIC haul! 🩲🧦❤️

An extra-special thank you to you — your generosity will make a real difference to people in our community who are doing it tough.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support us, donate, share our posts and help us be there for our community. We couldn't do what we do without you! 💕

***Community Call Out!!

We are in need of socks and un**es for our rough sleeping community.
We are lucky to have wonderful partners in organizations such as Food Bank and Second bite as well as generous local business's but there are just some things that need to be brand new...aka socks and un**es!

Its a tough time and money is tight for all of us, but if you do find yourself in a position to purchase a pair when out shopping next, we would be very grateful. All adult sizes needed.
Drop off is 1A Chelsea Road Chelsea (behind the library)
9.30am - 3pm Monday - Friday.

Our backpack beds and sleeping bags have arrived....a big thank you to City of Kingston for supporting us to purchase them!
Tonight, while many of us head home to a warm bed, thousands of Australians will be sleeping rough in the winter.
A Backpack Bed can provide more than just warmth—it offers protection from the weather, a safer night's sleep, and a little dignity for someone doing it tough.
For someone sleeping outside on a freezing night, a Backpack Bed and Fire Retardant Hypothermia Sleeping Bag can mean the difference between enduring the cold and surviving it.
If you are sleeping rough at the moment please come and see us for support.

A carload of kindness rolled in today!

I was delighted to welcome the Sandringham Lions Club as they delivered a generous donation of pillows and winter doonas on behalf of the Melbourne Deaf and Hard of Hearing Lions Club

These cosy essentials will help keep local families warm this winter. A huge thank you to both Lions Clubs for your generosity and continued support of our community.
