Hoodies for Housing

To help raise funds and awareness for homelessness support, Beyond Housing is holding a Hoodies for Housing fundraiser during Homelessness Week.

Hoodies for Housing is a simple fundraiser where schools, sports clubs and workplaces select a day during Homelessness Week (3-9 August) where they encourage students, players or staff to wear a hoodie to school, training or work. Participants bring a gold coin or $5 donation with them to help raise funds for locals experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

Winter is a particularly difficult time for those experiencing housing insecurity, and without adequate resourcing, the best community housing organisations like Beyond Housing can offer is sometimes just some warm clothing like a hoodie.

Donations go towards helping those experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity. This could be a hygiene pack for someone who can’t afford sanitary products themselves, or one or more nights of crisis accommodation for an individual or family escaping family violence. We have various examples of what donations can go towards on our website: https://beyondhousing.org.au/get-involved/donating/make-a-donation/
