What are your plans for catching up with your friends in May? I bet they consist of dinner somewhere, maybe a few glasses of wine…probably setting you back about $40? What if you still had dinner with your friends, but that $40 you’d normally spend went to the fight against homelessness? Well, HopeMonth can help you!
HopeMonth is where individuals like you and I can host our own fundraisers in support of our fellow Aussies roughing it on the streets this winter. All the money raised goes to HopeStreet – Urban Compassion, a grassroots organisation working to address homelessness in Sydney through programs aimed at offering a hand up, not just a hand out. Australians aren’t immune to homelessness with the most staggering statistic suggesting that the average Australian is only 2 weeks away from homelessness if they lose their income. Almost one in a hundred of us did experience a spell of it during the last year. Anyone is at risk of homelessness.
HopeMonth is a practical way you can help end homelessness and still do what you love doing! So still have that dinner with your friends, just host it at your place! When you register your meal at www.hopemonth.com and invite your friends, you specify how much you want them to donate in order to book at seat at your table! It’s that simple.
What better occasion than to clear off that dining table and put the skills you learnt from Master Chef to the test! (Don’t worry if you can’t cook, I’m sure your friends will still love you if you serve them char-grilled sourdough).
