Our mission
The Family Educators are inviting all families to be advocates for the Homeless. We are hoping to raise funds and awareness about homelessness and disadvantage in our community. Please join us on August 27, in your very own home and:
- Make a card, write a message and attach it to a muesli bar/biscuit snack to be donated back at school, to be taken and shared on the streets by the Vinnies Night Patrol Van.
- Make soup together to drink to stay warm when out on your own sleep out/sit out. This is something that the Van usually distributes to those on the street.
- Sleep/Sit outside in the cold for a period of time, with only cardboard to sit on. During this time, discuss questions around how you are feeling, how the homeless must feel, as well as share some facts to raise awareness of Homelessness.
- Pray together as a family for those people in our community who have no secure, warm housing.
- Donate what you can through this fundraising page.
All money will assist Vinnies in providing support for those in our community who need it the most.
