Homelessness is a growing issue in Australia, with over 100,000 people displaced and without a place to call home.      
We work closely with hundreds of schools and their communities in Queensland to provide donations and funds, helping these people find somewhere safe and stable to live. 
<h3>How It Works </h3>
During Term 2, your school is invited to participate in the Winter Appeal. You can raise much-needed funds for people experiencing homelessness or collect donations of blankets, warm clothing and/or food from your local community. We give these donations to those people and families who need it most in your local community, in time for winter.
