With Perth’s housing crisis continuing, homeless service providers are struggling to provide for those approaching them for assistance. Many of those who are asking for help are people like you and me, who would never have imagined themselves becoming homeless, but who simply can’t find a place to stay.
Imagine enduring a cold and wet winter night in Perth without a roof over your head or a warm place to sleep? Unfortunately, this is a growing reality for thousands of West Australians sleeping rough in our city. But through Sonshine’s Heart for the Homeless you can help!
This May, Sonshine, together with St Pat’s, St Bart’s, and Uniting WA, are collecting items to show our Heart for the Homeless. You can drop off your items at one of our many collection points, listed below.
We’re collecting…
Sleeping bags, backpacks, shampoos, conditioners, body wash, soap, deodorant, tampons and pads, underwear, single-pack toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, socks and tracksuit pants and tops.
We’re only accepting brand new items. We cannot collect food or perishable items.
Find out what items are needed most…
Last day of collection is COB Friday 23rd May 2025 at business and school locations, Sunday 25th May 2025 at church locations.
