Homeless Connect

A fairly new craft friend of mine brought Homeless Connect to my attention via facebook the other day. This is something i have decided to put my support behind and urge you to do the same where possible.  Over the next few days i will be making a custom batch of handmade soaps to donate to the cause.

"Homeless Connect brings together business and community groups twice a year to give free services to the homeless or those at risk"

Services include:

• medical care
• legal advice
• accommodation referral
• personal grooming items 
• clothes

You can donate specific items to the following locations between Monday, 12 March and Friday, 4 May 2012:

• Council libraries - shampoo, face wash, soap and other toiletries
• Local ward offices - non-perishable food items
• Brisbane Salvation Army stores - new underwear and socks, blankets, clothing, shoes and towels

For further information on the event and how to volunteer, head on over to the BCC Homeless Connect info page
