Homeless Connect

Here's a peak at the handmade soaps I'm making to donate to Homeless Connect

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

Market time again

What are you doing on Friday the 27th of April?
