Sydney’s Martin Place was awash with Mission Australia volunteers yesterday morning – all braving the freezing conditions to launch HUSH for Homelessness.
Dressed in sleeping bags, the team handed out thousands of flyers to Sydney commuters on their way to work. Event organiser Mandy Jones said she hoped HUSH for Homelessness was both about raising funds for Mission Australia’s homeless service as well as awareness about the plight of homeless people.
“Many homeless people feel voiceless, which is why Mission Australia is asking people to be silent for an hour on Wednesday July 2, and raise money for their efforts.
“Every dollar raised will go to Mission Australia’s housing support services which last year assisted 45,000 people who were homeless, or at risk of homelessness, around the country,” said Mandy.
