For the thousands of Australians who are homeless, winter is an unbearable time, and something as simple as seasonal change can have devastating affects on homeless people's health.Last night the temperature in Sydney fell below eight degrees – it is unimaginable to have to be without a home in the cold and have no way to keep warm.
Due to this cold snap in Sydney, Missionbeat has depleted its supply of blankets and we are asking for your urgent help to donate clean and useable blankets in the next 48hours.
To donate a blanket, please contact Missionbeat directly on 1800 306 461 or drop off your blanket directly to the Missionbeat office located at Unit 1/1 Brompton Street, Marrickville NSW 2204.
Missionbeat patrols inner Sydney streets seeking out those in distress and offering them support. The iconic vans transport homeless men, women, children, families and intoxicated or drug affected men and women to services to meet their immediate needs, including safe accommodation, medical care or food and clothing.
To make a blanket donation or find out more about how you can help, please contact Missionbeat on 1800 306 461. Your simple gesture could save someone’s life.
