In times of crisis, our emergency relief teams provide vital support to individuals and families in need. But beyond the food, clothing, and essentials, they also offer something just as powerful—hope.

This is the story of one man’s incredible journey of growth and transformation, as witnessed by a dedicated member of our team:

“For years, our Emergency Relief Hub supported a client who was rough sleeping in parks, bushes, and under buildings. Time and again, we provided him with clean clothing, food, and camping gear. No matter how tough things got, he remained grateful for our support and built a strong connection with our volunteers.”

This client went to rehab and started to make positive changes in his life. When he completed his program, he managed to secure himself a property. This is his first ever rental property, and hopefully somewhere he can remain for a long time to come. Thankfully, we were able to assist him with doonas, pillows, bedding, pots, pans, towels, all those little items that you need when moving into your first home.

He was so incredibly grateful for the support, and all the volunteers participated in the packing process happily as he had become such a regular and had touched the hearts of all involved. Good news stories like this are the reason we all come to work and do the job we do, particularly our volunteers who give up their spare time to support people like this gentleman.”
