Health on The Streets launches Christmas appeal

Health on the Streets (HoTS) has launched its Christmas appeal to support individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness on the Central Coast.

The initiative aims to provide essential items to those in need, ensuring that no-one is forgotten this Christmas.

“At Health on the Streets, we believe that no one should experience Christmas without the necessities that so many of us take for granted,” CEO Kathy Beverley said.

“With the support of our local community, we can provide warmth, comfort and dignity to those who need it most and offer a sense of hope during what can be a difficult time of year.”

The appeal is calling out for donations of essential items, gift cards and financial contributions.

“Your support can make a significant impact in the lives of those who are struggling, helping them to access basic needs like food, clothing, and hygiene products,” Beverley said.

She said donations could be made through the Health on the Streets website.

“Your contribution will directly help purchase essential supplies, Opal cards, and supermarket gift cards for homeless and vulnerable individuals and families,” she said.

Supermarket gift cards are also welcome, allowing clients to choose the items they need and offering them the flexibility to shop for themselves.

An Essential Item Wishlist can be found at www.healthonthestreets.org.au/christmas-appeal

Donations can be dropped off at Suite 3/3 Bounty Close, Tuggerah, until Friday, November 29.
