A place to rest and recoup

Your donation enables us to help individuals and families find a safe place to sleep when they have nowhere else to go.

Clothing and essentials

Together we can provide basic essentials such as blankets, clothing and toiletries to restore dignity in times of need.

In Victoria, we’re experiencing a range of crises including poverty, food insecurity, in addition to the cost-of-living and mortgage stress.

Meet Ted, a father of four who, like many other Victorians, found himself at a crossroads not long ago. His partner's workplace accident left her in pain and immobile, and Ted became her primary carer, transitioning from a tradesman in heavy industry to managing the household. The financial strain became overwhelming, especially with the growing needs of their four children.

"We went from being able to manage when I was working to having next to nothing when I became a carer. I want my kids to experience life and not struggle the way I do”, Ted says.

Your contribution is not just a donation; it is an investment in breaking the cycle of disadvantage students in Victoria and providing opportunities for building a brighter future.
