This year a record 140 Home in a Box sets have helped families and individuals settle into their new home after a long experience of homelessness. Thank you to our generous donors and to our suppliers, who make this project possible. We recognise and appreciate the dedicated service workers who help find safe, affordable and appropriate homes for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
The Order of Malta Craft Group has provided beautifully knitted and crocheted blankets, as has Sr Patricia from the Sisters of Mercy North Sydney. These handmade gifts add a personal touch for each recipient of a Home in a Box.
We received this feedback from one of a Senior Practice Leader:
I want to share a poignant moment we experienced during a recent Home in a Box drop off. One of our clients, a woman who had an extensive history of homelessness and who has faced numerous hardships, became visibly upset and cried when she received the items. Her emotional reaction was a powerful reminder of how much your support means to our most vulnerable consumers. It’s moments like these that highlight the importance of your work and the significant impact you have on the lives of our homeless folk.
Thank you for helping us make this project possible.
