A huge shout out and thank you to Costco for sending us this huge pallet of brand new shoes to support people experiencing homelessness. New warm comfortable shoes are very hard to come by when you don’t have enough money even for food and shelter. We are so grateful to be able to give these incredible gifts to our friends on the streets and those doing it tough. As alwyas we would like to thank our charity sponsor StarTrack for delivering these shoes to our warehouse. We are so grateful for your support.

We’re down at Renegate Footy today cooking up a storm to raise money for more of our Winter Warmer packs for people sleeping rough in our streets.

One ticket sale equals one Winter Warmer bag for people sleeping rough. Each bag contains brand new tracksuit pants, jumper, a hoodie, beanie, scarf, gloves, underwear, shoes and a life saving sleeping bag. All brand new […]
