Help 2,000 homeless or disadvantaged people in our community 

Imagine finding yourself in a situation where you were homeless or at risk of homelessness and then imagine a one day event in Perth city where you were provided with not only a two-course wholesome hot lunch but access to FREE services including: accommodation assistance; counselling; legal advice; employment services; free GP, dental, podiatry and optometry services; budget/financial counselling; identification (births/deaths/marriages); massage & skin treatments; free shop facility with food, clothing, and toiletries; personal hygiene (haircuts and showers); sporting and arts activities. 

How can you help?

$50 will buy two shopping bags of non-perishable groceries for a guest to take away

$20 will provide a guest with new underwear and toiletries

$10 will provide a two-course hot lunch for two guests

Your choice – all donations big or small are appreciated

This event is attended by 2,000 people as our guests, including many children and families, and is one that many of Perth's disadvantaged community look forward to each year. Guests describe the event as a ‘life changing day’ for them. 458 volunteers donate 7, 610 hours to make this event possible.

“This day is better than Christmas for us” – Guest

“Feels like I’m part of a community” – Guest

“The guests are all so kind and grateful” - Volunteer

Homelessness cannot be solved in one day, but becoming reconnected into community and finding pathways out of homelessness are achievable at Homeless Connect Perth. 

Homeless Connect Perth is an initiative of City of Perth and Volunteering WA.

Thank you!
