Homelessness Week Dignity Packing Event

Join our Community Centres to help those doing it tough.

Did you know that on any given night over 123,000 people across Australia are experiencing homelessness?

In the lead up to this year’s Homelessness Week (4 - 10 August), our Community Centres across Wyndham are coordinating an annual Donation Drive from June to August to collect long-life food and personal care items for those in need.

These items will be turned into dignity packs at a special Dignity Packing Event during Homelessness Week at one of our Community Centres.

The packs will provide short-term emergency relief to those in our community experiencing hardship.
