Bega Garnbirringu Health Services’ includes the development and maintenance of arobust and diverse organisation that provides sustainable, culturally appropriate andholistic health services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Theorganisation addresses the social determinants of health and provides for clinical,educational and preventative health services.

We generated donations of toiletries, underwear and sanitary items from the general public. These items were distributed to our beneficiary organisations who provide outreach services, drop in services and crisis accomodation for people who are homeless and/or disadvantaged.

SMOS undertook the following services during 2020: Homeless Outreach: serving weekly meals to the needy in the community and offering a showering facility and basic medical checkups. Back to School Program: serving breakfast, fruits and stationary supplies to students of needy families at a few public schools in and around Victoria Park. Prison Fellowship: A biweekly service with Prison Fellowship Australia aiming to bring hope into prisons.

Our primary goals are to relieve the stress on those experiencing homelessness, or who are at risk of homelessness, by providing their basic needs; and educate those experiencing homelessness of other services that are available to help them. Each Sunday mornings up to 50 volunteers meet at Moore Street where they distribute CarePacks to between 150 230 people experiencing homelessness accompanied by many wrap around services such as the One Voice mobile shower bus, a hairdressing service, the street library, a veterinary service and chiropractor.. We digitally record the numbers we assist, providing perishable food, warm drinks and soup, nonperishable food items to take away, essential toiletries, warm blankets, waterproof coats and sleeping bags. During the Winter months we supply new insulated and waterproof jackets The recipients congregate in a lineup and are given a carry bag which they fill with items they choose to take with them including seasonal fruit as well as sandwiches and boiled eggs that are prepare by the meals team which they can take away with them.​Our ‘Rescue’ or emergency hamper distribution commenced this January 2020, an exciting new initiative developed by Jed Fay, our depot manager who saw a growing need for this service. By referral from other organisations or from individuals, our ‘Rescue’ hampers are created for individuals and families at risk of homelessness or recently rehoused and experiencing financial difficulties. Those items which are donated but are not suited to street living are stored at our socalled ‘pantry’ at the depot, and used to create these hampers, which provide food for families or individuals for up to one week.​We hope to extend the contents to include ‘backtoschool’ items for school kids, such as pens and other stationary. We have regular busybee days where volunteers can choose to work at the depot, assisting with packaging of items and organising donations. University students and school groups regularly assist us during our Busybee days. These are held at Unit 2/ 28 Munt Street, Bayswater. Busy Bees consist of sorting donations, preparing Care Packs that are needed for Sunday’s distribution. We can also arrange (on request) special “School Holiday Busy Bees” for primaryaged kids. Perth Homeless Support Group continually collects and distributes food to those less fortunate through our outreach service. We also support the homeless by providing clothing including new underwear and socks.
