Wrap Up Homelessness Week 31st May - 7th June 2024
Did you know that on any given night there are over 1,800 people homeless in the Illawarra? This includes men, women, children and youth. Most will be couch surfing, others will be in specialist homeless services and some are street sleeping.
Wrap up Homelessness is an initiative to raise awareness about the plight of homeless people in our community and raise funds for Wollongong Homeless Hub to assist the homeless.
We are asking that your school, business or organisation wrap themselves up with a scarf or pop on a beanie and host a morning tea to raise money or run a food drive to collect non-perishable pantry items. The funds raised will be used to assist the Hub to support their clients and to provide care packages, meals, shelter, sleeping bags, tents and much more. The food collected will go directly to families and people in need.
