Community event for 2018 National Homelessness Week
National 2018 Homelessness Week, which launches today (Monday 6 August 2018), is coordinated by Homelessness Australia as a means of raising awareness of people experiencing homelessness, the issues they face and the action needed to achieve enduring solutions.
“This event isn’t a cure-all to homeless but we certainly hope that it is a way for people to better understand how homelessness can happen, and consider the wide and varying needs of people living without safe and affordable shelter.”
Details for the event are:
Date: Saturday 11 August 2018
Time: 11.00-12.30pm
Location: Margaret River Organic Garden
Catering: A shared lunch after the session
Cost: FREE
Anyone wishing to contribute to the homelessness solution can help by
Promoting local activities and events on Facebook or Instagram
Keep informed about homelessness in AMR through Just Home Margaret River’s Facebook page
Donate winter weather gear or food goods to the Margaret River Community Centre between 9am and 1pm, Monday to Friday
