Homeless Services

Donations via Giveabl's API and plugins to homeless services can provide much-needed support to those who are struggling to keep a roof over their head. Services like emergency shelters, food pantries, and job training programs rely on donations to continue operating. By giving, you can help make a difference in the life of someone who is facing homelessness.

Donations help to support homeless services in a number of ways. They provide the financial resources necessary to keep these organizations running. They also help to cover the costs of essential items and services that homeless individuals rely on. Your donation can also be used to fund special programs and initiatives that aim to improve the lives of those experiencing homelessness.

Organizations that work with the homeless are constantly searching for new and innovative ways to provide assistance. Your donation could be used to fund a program that provides job training or housing assistance. It could also be used to purchase supplies like blankets and tents for a winter shelter. No matter how it is used, your donation will make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Three ways you can support homeless services causes
  1. Donate money or items to a local homeless shelter or food bank. Many times, these organizations are in need of basic necessities like food, clothes, and personal care items. Check with these organizations first to make sure you are donating items that they actually need though.

  2. Volunteer your time at a local homeless shelter or food bank. This is a great way to give back to the community and help those in need.

  3. Educate yourself and others about homelessness and the causes of it. This can help build empathy and understanding for those experiencing homelessness, which can lead to more resources and support being made available.

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.
