SleepSafe - 1500 Sleep Kits Distributed
|
|
Linen & towels are a major expense for homeless services, that's why we have teamed up with Sheridan to help. Our SleepSafe initiative launched only 3 months ago but has already raised enough funds for 4500 sleep kits (1500 have already been distributed). Our Christmas appeal will be raising funds to provide SleepSafe Sleep Kits to homeless services across Australia.

“StreetSmart just delivered 18 Sleep Kits. SleepSafe in an amazing initiative created by Sheridan and StreetSmart to help people experiencing homelessness in shelters and refuges right across Australia. You can’t overestimate the benefits of fresh linen, towels and a safe bed to sleep in - they'll make a huge difference to the women and kids we work with. Thank you.”
