This Winter, hundreds of people on the Central Coast will face the cold without a safe place to sleep, and many without even the most basic essentials.
Health on the Streets (HoTS) is conducting a Winter appeal until June 27.
By providing healthcare to people experiencing homelessness, the organisation has saved millions in emergency costs, and now it is aiming to reach even more people.
“For those experiencing homelessness, Winter isn’t just difficult — it can be life-threatening,” the organisation’s website says.
“Your support can change that.
“With your help, we can provide warm shelter, clothing, essential items like blankets and hygiene kits, and critical care to those who need it most.
People can donate through the website to go towards purchasing essential items for homeless clients, with all donations over $2 tax-deductible.
By donating a supermarket gift card, people can give homeless clients the freedom to choose the items they need or want this Winter.
People can also donate specific gifts from the Essential Items Winter Wishlist, available on the website.
The HoTS team has curated the list based on the needs and requests of individuals.
It includes coats, jackets, umbrellas, socks, gumboots, gloves, beanies, raincoats, blankets, thermal clothing, sneakers/shoes, hand warmers, and ponchos.
Also on the wishlist are sleeping bags, non-perishable foods, toiletries and Opal Cards.
Monetary donations can be made at healthonthestreets.org.au/winter-appeal
Items can be donated at Suite 3/3 Bounty Cl, Tuggerah, until Friday, June 27.
