We’re all enjoying some scones from Elliott and the team at Tasty Az’s cafe, Our Good Place in Lilydale.

Today was a big day! Thanks to our friends at the RACV, we’ve upgraded our washing machine to a commercial Speed Queen to cope with the increased size and number of loads.

Despite taking quite a bit of effort into removing the old LG Wash-tower and fitting the Speed Queen in, the guys from Speed Queen were fantastic!

Just waiting on our friends at Human Electrical and Design to upgrade a power point for the dryer, a slight modification to the plumbing and adding some venting the Speed Queen will be ready to run!

The second big event today was Jamie and Nick working and planting some native plants in our Garden along the edge of the property. Nick got rid of many of the weeds while Jamie planted the donated plants from Knoxbrook Nursery.

The day before, Jamie and one of our regular guests, Trev, installed the pavers alongside the seat that Stan had installed earlier. The seats are from the Croydon Hills Mens Shed and look fantastic!

We have decided to name the garden, “Bec’s Garden”, in honour of Bec, one of our earlier guests who had passed away. Bec was part of the efforts in preparing the centre to open.

If you have any other native plants you would like to donate, we would love to hear from you. Anything to help make “Bec’s Garden” bloom and be a place of rest and contemplation.

We have 20 days left. That's it.

Right now, across the Yarra Ranges, people are sleeping in cars, in shopfronts, in the bush, and in crisis. And right now - because of people like you - Holy Fools is there.

Every week, we serve hot meals, open our shower, hand out clothing and blankets, and walk alongside people who have nowhere else to turn. Felix House. Street Angels. We show up.

This is the last chance before 30 June to make a gift that is:
• Fully Tax Deductible ($2 and over)
• Directed straight to the people who need it most
• Matched by a community that believes everyone deserves dignity

Give before 30 June and change something real for someone in the Yarra Ranges.
