Packages for Homeless
Packages for Homeless 2015
Our Packages for Homeless campaign was a joint venture, with Australian Nerdfighters' P4H. Working together to coordinate collection points, donations, sponsors, and the people-power to run this campaign, we were able to distribute over 150 care packages (in the form of backpacks full of much needed items) to homeless people living on the streets of Sydney this winter. We met some truly inspiring people. The stigma surrounding people going through tough times will only be destroyed once we begin to recognise everyone as possessing the same humanity as ourselves. Everyone has their story, none is more important than any other. We am so thankful for the stories that were shared with us. We hope that you can read about this campaign on our blog and learn a little of what what we did. Packages for Homeless 2016 This year we once again run a care packages campaign in conjunction with Packages for Homeless (P4H). We distributed fifty packages, with the essentials we were able to collect largely through corporate donations and generous community members. The homeless living on the streets of Sydney face so much stigma and hate, while just trying to survive. It was a cold and early morning but a small group of determined members set out and delivered the packages, and we couldn't be more grateful for all the donations that allowed us to do so. Hopefully this is something we can revisit again in the future! |
