Sleeping Bags For Homelessness
It’s never easy to ask for help, even when you use that help to help others. On Wednesday we gave out our 10,000th sleeping bag. We could only do this because you helped us to do it. Our sleeping bags for homelessness project is entirely funded by donations and fundraisers. If you’re looking to make an end of year financial donation to a charity, please consider us. 10,000 sleeping bags is a lot, but with over 7800 people sleeping rough every night, it’s not nearly enough. Sleeping bags don’t last long when they’re used every day. The 7800 people sleeping […]
We were so pleased to receive three boxes of hand made winter warmers from Ken and Nella at Knit 4 Charities. These incredibly important and much needed items have already begun hitting the streets and are being sent off to other areas where people are also in need. Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this happen. We sincerely appreciate your time and support 🧶🧤🧣💖
Yesterday we delivered 47 Easter hampers to families in financial crisis so children whose families celebrate Easter could still have a magical Easter Sunday when the Easter bunny visits. Today we will be delivering 38 more hampers and we have over 100 more to deliver over Thursday, Friday and Saturday. That’s more than 200 Easter hampers. Each Easter hamper is made individually for each family, and we make sure there is something inside for every family member in the house. Although we didn’t have a specific Easter fundraiser this year, these hampers were still made possible because of you. The […]

A huge thank you once again to Peter for dropping these life saving sleeping bags off to our warehouse. 100 of these sleeping bags are heading right over to the wonderful people at Perth Homeless Support Group, in Perth WA ro help kick off their winter appeal. Our sleeping bags are rated sub 10 degrees which means they will keep someone alive in that temperature. They are waterproof and they are brand new! If you would like to donate to help out more people who call the streets home, please head to our website to donate. All donations over $2 […]
Another 20 sleeping bags on their way to Mullumbimby to provide warmth to those displaced from the flooding in Northern NSW.The rebuild is going to take up to two years and there are still large numbers of families sleeping in temporary accommodation like caravans waiting for their houses to be rebuilt or made safe.We will support these families and similarly the families in Rochester Victoria as they recover from these devastating floods for as long as they need us.#sleepingbagsforhomelessness #nationalhomelesscollective

412kg, 2 cubic metres of flood relief items going to flood affected areas in NSW and QLD. People have lost everything. They’re sleeping on bare floors and waterlogged cars. Among the items we have here are 40 new sleeping bags. It’s not much but it’s a start. We need more. If you would like to donate a sleeping bag to someone in a flood affected area please consider donating below https://national-homeless-collective.giveeasy.org/2022-winter-warmth-and-sleeping-bag-appeal
Please Donate to National Homeless Collective (giveeasy.org) Nobody chooses this. Homelessness is never an easy way to live. Homelessness is chaotic, lonely, cruel and cold. This week alone we sent out 40 sleeping bags to help young people experiencing homelessness, 30 more sleeping bags to children sleeping in cars, 24 sleeping bags to assist children to go to school camp, 35 sleeping bags to people sleeping rough, and 70 sleeping bags to our partner organisations to reach even more people who call the streets home. We have no sleeping bags left. Not one. Our 2021 allotment has been exhausted. We […]
As the cold weather begins to nip, today we loaded up the Mitsubishi and delivered 15 sleeping bags to drummond street services. Each week DSS gets our stock exactly where it needs to go- this time to teenagers and young adults. We are so grateful to everyone who supports us and our work, as it allows us to support the community directly through the hard work of the wonderful people at Drummond Street Services.
We did it Melbourne! Thanks to your incredible donations and support we were able to provide 50 young people affected by lockdowns with these amazing food hampers!

These hampers were delivered to the young recipients by Sandra and Toyin from Yarra Youth Services Richmond hub. A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers Dayle, Simon and Annette who […]
