Homeless Outreach Sunshine Coast

Pope Leo XIV — elected in May 2025 after Pope Francis.

He picked up a document Pope Francis was working on before he died and made it his own. The core message was: reach out when you see poverty, don't look away.

Here’s what he said:
What poverty actually is
It’s not just lack of money. He listed material poverty, social marginalization, moral / spiritual / cultural poverty, loneliness, and “the poverty of those who have no rights, no space, no freedom”. He said women are often “doubly poor,” struggling to feed children with few rights.

Walk with the poor

Love for the poor = proof of faith
whatever the form their poverty may take.

Don’t dismiss small acts.

“The most important way to help the disadvantaged is to assist them in finding a good job” but when that’s not possible, alms still matters.

Many Christians “need to go back and re-read the Gospel” because they’ve forgotten faith and love for the poor go hand in hand. 😪

Include
migrants, homeless, refugees, disabled. “In every rejected migrant, it is Christ himself who knocks at the door.” 🙏

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated lately 💛

I was able to grab all this warm bedding from Anaconda today - and half has been distributed.

I then poured 7 hot chocolates with marshmallows - they seem to go down well.

It makes such a difference when everything gets wet from the prior night's downpour.

It's going to be wet, cold and miserable out there tonight.

And getting beds OFF the ground is so essential, especially for older ones.

Thank you for keeping people warm, dry, and off the ground tonight. More to go out tomorrow.

Thank you Parkside Gardens!

In just 12 months, Parkside Gardens has collected and recycled an incredible $637.90 through Containers for Change — with every cent donated directly to us.

It's amazing to see how much waste we can divert from landfill while making a real difference in people's lives.

Those small trickles really do add up, and we are so grateful to everyone at Parkside Gardens who participated, collected, and contributed. Thank you for your support!

I caught up with Edith and Kay from Sunshine Coast Style Divas today at the Northshore Community Centre.

The ladies have a wonderful knack of matching op shop clothing ensembles making the perfect outfit for every occasion, and its all free to women in need. I even got myself a set.

Can you please go and vote for Sunshine Coast Homeless Outreach? They are the best hope for those that are homeless here. They helped me on numerous occasions and gave me hope when I had none left.

Takes 10 seconds. Share this and make it count.

Thanks Noosa Rotary for your generous donation of swags today

The relief that washes over people's faces when we hand one to them in their hour of need is priceless.

Also a huge THANKS to The Hub Noosa for your ongoing support of weekly food. Without you there would be so many more hungry people here on the Coast 🙏
